Yep side inject.

Give the gloves a try to see if it helps. Could it be plastic drawing moisture out of the air from humidity? When i first started using baitplastics though i thought that it was spongy feeling & put of more oils & than either the lureworks or the calhouns that baitjunkys sold which is the two brands of plastisol i had used at the time. After i let the baits cure awhile they turned out great & baitplastics is all i've used since. I leave baits hanging for months & never have a dull one. I just orderd 5 gallons the other day & 1 gallon of it is their hard so i'll see if it cures up as clear as the medium does or it gets cloudy.

You may well be right. When i up size the pic it looks to have a very light purple hue on my computer screen which is why i thought possibly violet.

Could possibly be a minute amount of white colorant with the violet hi lite mixed in & black glitter or clear plastic with violet hi lite & black glitter. .

That's looks pretty good right there if you ask me.

I tried to view your videos, but it says there is no videos on it & also no content.

I shot the slick shiner mold again this afternoon a few times & i'm definitely liking it. Made some pretty good laminates.

Even though i haven't had time to mess with it much i did shoot it once & i sure like mine.

I really don't have a problem with that on the baits i'm thinking of adding it to. Thanks

Thanks Wally. I’m thinking about finesse worms, baby brush hogs & big ribbon tails too. May even try a couple jig trailers too.

Let me rephrase that. They come out of the mold & they are oilier when warm until they've had time tocool & cure, but after a little time i really like the results. I think it's a little clearer than the calhouns too. Anyway it being a different plastic & me getting use to the slight differences between it & calhouns i'm completely satisfied with the baitplastics stuff.

The baits cured up oilier & softer feeling than with the calnouns, but after letting them cure a little longer there very good and the softness is good & the baits are actually pretty durable. I've ordered several 5 gallon batches of it so far & like it.

I ordered some floatant bubble material from baitplastics when i ordered plastic the other day & wondered what would be a good place to start when it came to how much per ounce to get a high floating bait. I usually work in either 4 or 6 ounce batches. Any suggestions? Thanks

That makes two of us. It toook me a little while to get use to it after using calhouns that baitjunkys sold, but i'm happy now. I just orderd 4 gallons of medium & a gallon of salt water too . I mix it with the medium to make tubes.

That injector will also expand & contract very badly if you really try to shoot it a bunch & it will get so hot that you’ll think it’s going to burn you.

Agree 100%

That injector is 100 % the problem. Oil the inside. . Musky Gary done a mod to his that made it work good. I had one of those that you have, but in a dual injector & i replaced the orings & cut a notch to be able to use a screw driver to twist & remove the tips from the tubes & it worked alright. Since i had one like you're talking about my advice would be to replace with either a basstackle, a do-it or one from quality injector. Basstackle is the best on the market however & is what i'd get if i were you. Never skimp on an injector.

She may also want to whip your *ss.

Fern, that's probably the most durable rod a person could get. I'd say that will work real well/ I'm checking out the sizes on them myself.

I was looking around & wondered what about a bain marie pot for normal sized tubes?

After looking at pics of an asparagus steamer there's no doubt in my mind that hand dipping any size tube would be easy as long as you can keep the plastic warm, stirred & also keep enough in the pot for the depth needed to make the length you want. Also a downsized version for normal size tubes would be real nice. . It's a great idea for sure. I'm going to see what i can find since i'm cutting my own tails anyway.

Not a thing wrong with that.

Hopefully. I was told by a tackle shop owner that went to a show a couple weeks ago that a lot of brands are so far behind that they won't be getting certain baits until october & some not this year because they're trying to catch up. Zoom, berkely & a couple other major brands had several baits that dealers wouldn't be able to get this year. Zoom more than anything else per zoom according to the store owner was going to be effected more than anybody else because they were the #1 selling brand of soft plastics. Guess we'll see.

Maybe try a smidgen of yellow or white to it or both, but were talking just a very small amount on a skewer or something like that the size of a pin head at a time until you reach the shade you want

ultralight shakey head i'd say or type of ned rig with some action.
