Thanks for all the help and advice. I vented the hell out of the tail and opened up the gates a bit more.It shoots great now Now I have to wait for spring to fish them. Thanks again Noel
-
Ok .will do. The existing vent at the tail is only 1/16 wide and .0015 deep.
-
That looks good. I will cut them tomorrow. Thanks Noel
-
I'm clamping with c clamps. I was looking at the rage tail Anacondas and they have that secondary runner. I'll vent the tail more at the tip and see how it works.
-
I'm having trouble filling the last inch of the tail on my latest mold . It is vented at the tip but minimally. I was thinking of adding a small runner from the bidy to the tail as drawn in black .or would more venting be th answer. What do you guys think ? Noel

I don't see a link. Noel

Thanks Jeff. Do you find the body is more prone to dents if you get too hot ? Noel

Good day all. I recently made a mould to shoot some curly tails for one of my creature baits. Given that the tails will be cool when inserted into the main mould. Is there anything i should be doing to promote a proper join between the two parts. Thanks in advance Noel.
-
Thanks guys . That gives me a good starting point. We received a bottle of Hawg sauce yesterday. Boy does it stink . Noel

First question I have been using the alumisol plastic and have had good results. This order I added a bottle of heat stabilizer. i usually cook 2 cups at a time. How much stabilizer would you guys use for a batch that size ? Second question I want to add some Upper Hand Hog suace to the cook. What proportions work best? thanks in advance.

What is every ones opinion on these two methods of making laminates. I have made and used a few laminating plates with decent success. Is it worth making a blending block to try, or should I stick with the plate method. Thanks in advance Noel
-
Ok then . Good to know. Thanks Noel
-
I posted a pic the other day of a few laminates i shot on the weekend. Now the post is gone . Did I break some rule ? Noel
-
Ya what he said .LOL. I was thinking of polishing the face of the laminate plate so the half worms stay in place better when I separate the plates after the first shot. Noel
-
Awesome. Thanks for the good advice. I tried the mould release thing and i could basically peel the two halves apart . i noticed on first shot if the half worms tend to pull out a bit i just played with the to get them back in place . Thanks Again Noel

I made a laminate plate for my 4 and 5 inch stick bate molds today. Here is a pic if the results.is there anything that I need to watch for to prevent delamination. Thanks Noel
-
I love The clarity you get from the glass bead. Here is a few that i shot today . Noel

I looked at Amazon and it is an option. I have thought about using band heaters and making the pots at work. but then i would need a decent controller .
-
I was looking for a suitable sized melt pot for small batches that I inject. Presto pots seem to be very hard to find in Canada . This mini crock pot seems like it would be the perfect size but not hot enough.Its temp is pre set mostly for warming. I was wondering if anyone has played around with bypassing the internal thermostat and using a dimmer to control temp. is it conceivable to get 320 deg out of a crock pot this way. Thanks Noel
-
Looks like I should have used the search function.

I am looking for an alternative to using the microwave for heating my plastisol. I was at Walmart yesterday and I found a thermastatic controled fondue pot. The thermastat goes up to 400 deg . It has a 3 quart capacity. Does this sound like a suitable heating pot for plastics. Thanks Noel
-
I locked myself in the shop this weekend. I came up with a three plate design. One side is a 5 cavity 5 inch stick bait and the other side is a 5 cavity 4 inch stick bait.I reduced the main runner volume allowing me to shoot 5 cavities with my 4oz injector
-
It has definatly come in handy over the years.
-
Shucks you are making me blush
-
Thank you. I am going to make another injector and a manifold for doing laminates .
