That & you'll have buddys wanting them too.

No i ordered the yellow 116.
-
What baits do you throw the most?
-
If you do buy plastic & buy 5 gallons a time you will have all kinds of remeltable sprues after a little while. I keep mine in left over coffee cans (atleast 20) under the bench in my garage & use it as needed.

Spikeit had bright yellow , golden yellow & yellow so i just got that. I think it will work pretty good for what i'm going to do with it.
-
Yep i know. I have some chartreuse pumpkin colorant, but no straight chartreuse.
-
no matter it's gone now & i ordered a small bottle of yellow from spikeit.
-
Maybe with the right chartreuse.

Does anyone have a recipie that's close to zooms tomato like in their super chunk ? I ordered lureworks tomato red thinking it would be close, but it's not by a long ways.I also mixed redbug, white & yellow & got close,but it doesn't have the faint yellow hue that zoom does. Thanks

I used some aircraft paint stripper & it cleaned them a lot better than i figured it would. I layed them on the ground in the sun & sprayed them down & took an acid wash brush to each mold & really scrubbed them. Left a grey aluminium residue where they were laying. I then dried them & shot them & the first shot brought the remaining paint residue off. The next round of baits were shinier then they were when new. Hopefully they stay this way.

Welcome

Mark, will do. I have a digital temperature gun i can use. I don't really figure on setting extremely close because i figure i'll have to handle them some to regulate temps & i don't want my cold one becoming a warm or hot one instead.
-
I made some baits with mine before i painted. I can rub on the paint & it doesn't come off on my finger & feels dry, but when injecting & letting setup for 3 minutes i can then demold & thanks to the heat they're black as can be & the paint is soft & extremely sticky & can be wiped off with your finger or a rag. I'm going to strip them & shoot them several times to see what happens & to also make sure there is no paint residue of any kind on them & will clean with ether before painting again if i do.

I brush worm oil on the rods for my tube molds & the core shot rods should work the same according to what i've saw.
-
1200* is the melting point of aluminium & i asked do-it their opinion about it & they told me it shouldn't hurt however i think i'll strip them & try the 500* paint first & i may set them close to a charcoal grill or by the burn pit in the back yard, but not to close to see if i can cure the paint like that. Good way to cure paint & have a couple cold ones too.
-
After rethinking this i'm sure the paint needs baking to cure it. Would heating molds in a charcoal grill hurt them? Cause them to warp? Thanks
-
I used the ultra high heat good fir 1200 degrees. We’ll its suppose to be anyway. My paint is soft so looks like i’ll be stripping them back down.
-
I could only get the ultra high heat at my local wallyworld so I used it, but i’ve got 6 molds laying here drying now. We’ll see how it works one day this week.
-
I found Skimpys video. Thanks
-
Instead of taping off & trimming out the cavities can you just paint the entire inside if the mold & be ok? Thanks
-
I'm mixing equal parts brown based lureworks sp 156 & green based lureworks 109 green pumpkin colorant & adding some yellow & it makes the black glitter stand out plus makes it more opaque & everybody that see it really likes it. The problem is I have no clue what yellow it is because there's not a label on it so the question is what yellow would you guys use for this purpose? Just a bright yellow? Thanks
-
Yep if i'd interpret what i'd read a little better i'd see that he is using a silicone mold & not made such a suggestion.
-
Could he paint the cavities like on an essential series mold to seal it & smooth out any imperfections thus get shiny baits in the end?

M-F plastic turning yellow vs clear 1st time heated
Les Young replied to Senkosam's topic in Soft Plastics
How do you guys have any plastic that sets around & gets old? I order plastic about 3 times a year & never have none left because i wait until i open the last gallon to reorder.
