J lure

O man, are you for sure? I seen forums where it made it made plastic super soft and super stretchy........ or it was suppose to.

After doing a lot of countless hours researching trying to re-invent the wheel, or trying to make plastisol more durable and really stretchy. I think I may have come across something , it seems the robotic, medical prosthetics, and the doll diy world add mineral oil to their plastisol and plastics to make it life like and stretchy. I was wondering if someone would expeirment with this since just moved into a one bedroom apt with no working room. This just may be a waste of product and time or the next big thing.... let me know or if i find space and time ill do the same.

Yea that's what I was thinking. Or trying to make a d.i.y. small presto pot.

Right now I have one! own custom design mold and have been hand injecting. My problem is that I heat the plastic up add my color, glitter and ect. Then inject my mold wait for it to cool to demold and then time to repeat. It seems that I have to re-microwave each time to get my plastic right. How would you guys keep my plastisol hot/warm with out re-microwave.? I did try a presto pot that I bought at wally world but scorched a lot of plastic and seemed to be too big for my one man one mold production. Anything smaller.? Also has played with the idea of a beaker heater or a beaker hot plate with a stirring system? P.s. mean while I'll be saving for jacobs injection press and more molds.

Nice job bear and thank you.........

Hooray! Can't wait

Thanks SHK, all I can say is that I tried..

Well just tell us when it is coming out damit.... Please....

Tell me about it I had 1200 saved and in a week or two I was going to order....

Damn the Jacobs injection machine went up to $2,500! At one time it was $999. I should of bought two then. Does anyone know if this machine has had any improvements since to $999 days? I tried emailing Jacob twice without any reply.....

Yes this method (new to me) will save alot of time.

Awsome... Looks like a great time saver!

I hate making mold boxes to pour my rtv silicone. What type of material is everyone using, I've tried plastic containers, cardboard, wood, and foam board. I find making these boxes seems to be very time consuming.... Anyone have a easy way?

Congrats..

Strength in numbers right? Will we ( Soft plastic members) ever beat the number of replies or posts from our brothers in the hard bait forum? Also are we bringing juice and snacks to these meetings?

Hi my name is Jason and I have a problem........... I'm addicated to making soft plastic lures. I also have problems buying soft plastic baits from the big box boys. I have not made a perfect bait yet because I'm always trying to perfect the perfected. What's your story...

Is this machine/setup going to work under pressure?

Yea I would like to see that video too... I tried searching but nada....

Great idea! It's been way too long since a "nutty idea" was posted. Keep it up

O my bad, Great video Frank.. What kinda of set up do you have for your plastic?

Good video Bob. What kind of set up do you have your plastics in and why.......

I noticed there has been alot of posts where guys are having problems with denting and molds not filling correctly. I was wondering who warms thier molds before injecting or how do you guys keep your molds warm during the injecting process? I was thinking about a heating pad or some type of hot plate or flat griddle.... Any thoughts
