what will happen to a laminate try w/ a side in ject mold ? Jeff

yes lure craft has the paint for soft plastics, Color Tech apx. 7.00 bottle. good size bottle. 4 oz I think ? Jeff

Jim who does your pics ?? Jeff

Mark, not to change the subject ,,but my youngest boy has got 8-10 hours of driving on his permit now.. needs 50 hours of driving with us before october then takes the 2nd segment. glade he can not get a licence till june 4th . Jeff

isn't more on the red side ???

1st off alluring baits does not make any baits. they buy all there stuff from big manufacturers all his plastics are machine injected. not saying there is anything wrong with that. just that they are not hand pours and not made in small batches.

as stated above , you are filling the molds to fast.

2 oz batches are hard to do., I would go to 4 oz, and a thermometer is needed I used calhons a few years back, and bubbles were bad.. not sure how it is now.

I have made 10-12 batches with out a decent match.. I can get a match for the tails.. but then the body is to brown,, If I match the body the tails are to green I can match the 301 stick baits but with that for hogs the tails are to green I will keep trying. rite now my green pumpkin is pumpkinseed & watermelon. can darken with black.. been adding yellow.. will be adding orange next the colors I have made are close and do catch fish.. but I have that 1 customer,, you know,, that wants it exact.. and the customer is always rite !!!

I need help matching Yamamoto's # 301 green pumpkin. I have all LC colors if you look at his grubs or hogs, the body is dark green and the tails are yellow/ brown thanks Jeff

must be there is a few different type drums used. thanks Frank Jeff

thanks, and I take it these would be Spike-It ? Jeff

why can't you put the drum on its side ? we are thinking about getting a drum also. we will be transfering to smaller containers rite a way. so does the drum have a 2" hole & a full size lid thats comes off ? Jeff

PM returned

what spike do you have.. ultra.. poura,, ? soft ...med. hard . ? Jeff I mite take it ?

the 12 oz --- 4oz ratio did not keep the bubbles down as well.

Not sure what this tells us ? but this morning I mixed 9 oz of Soft Spike with 7 oz of MF soft to get a 16oz batch the mixture was almost bubble free !! I have a lot of baits to get out this weekend I am about to go back out and try a mixture of the same products but use 12 oz of spike & 4 oz of MF and see what happins. Someone else needs to try this mixture and see what they get . Jeff

oouch

I got a similar request from poss. the same guy..a while back.. I just deleted it ,, but was not poss. it was bogus.. but figured so. Jeff

I think the best way to decide what to buy is to look at the baits you like, and try to get those colors and glitters. I've found that one manuf.'s plastic will work with another's colors and glitters, so brand is really just a matter of personal preference, and who has what you're looking for. --------------------------------------------------------- thats being said greens,,,browns,,,blacks.. are popular. for colors -- if you use less of a color you get a lighter shade. glitters red,, black,,gold,,purple & blue are popular.. .015 & .035 if you can save money by less shipping thats great,, but some times the cost of an item from one place is enough less to pay the shipping twice.. lure craft is a great place to start and get all items.. but other places are good too.

salt is cheap but the shipping is more because of the weight.

you may not find a mold that is ---- exact ---- zoom may have a patent on the bait ?

YES,YES,YES, ventilation is important.!!!!

you also will need a good place to make baits. in the house is not an option. you will need a vent fan to exhaust fumes and a good mask to wear. send me your address & I will send you a hand poured senko from LC resin mold & from Dels 2pc aluminum mold so you can see the difference side by side. I started out with the one pc. LC senko molds.. they catch fish. but most fisherman do not want to buy um. the flat side turns them off.the fish do not care but the fish do not buy baits.
