Root Beer with orange & black glitter.

You might want to check out Ultra Molds. They also have a similar mold.

Yep, it's just repackaged Polysol.

Sent you a PM.

We're not having them made in the Ukraine. They are actually made in a country that highly supports us & we support them as well.

The guy we work with on our designs only charges $80 for the design work & we get to keep the exclusive rights to the design. After the design was final on our latest bait, he only charged $145 per 6 cavity mold to have them cut. This is our fourth time working with him & every design and mold he's produced for us has been perfect. As for speed, he designs the bait & usually has the molds cut within 11 days. Then it take 5-7 days to get here. If I could find someone here in America that can match the same price, quality, & service, I would have them made here.

Bookshelf style molds. Anywhere from 12-30 cavities depending on the size of the bait design. Our latest design we went with multiple 6 cavity designs so we could split them up in different work stations & give us the ability to do small custom orders for our unique design.
-
He must be using a different shipping method in the Ukraine. Most of our new production molds are being produced outside of the US and are shipped & here within 5-7 days.
-
Spikeit/Lureworks colors are good strong colors.
-
MEK should do it. I know acetone or butyl acetate doesn't break it down very well.
-
You can also make a spacer to block off a few cavities & just shoot a couple of worms at a time.
-
10oz. should be enough to fill it. We have some 20 cavity 8" worm custom bookshelf molds & it takes around 13-14oz. to fill. Don't know the diameter of the worms your shooting but it shouldn't take much over 1/2 of what it takes to shoot 20 8" worms.

Looks really close to Do-It's X2 watermelon color.
-
It will also depend on the brand of plastic you use. Some sinks, some is more neutral, & some floats. Each type of plastic will require a different amount of salt to get the same fall rate. You'll have to do lots of testing to see what works for the type of plastic you're using.

I'd say that color is the duo red/blue pearlex. LC just buys pearlex in bulk & resells it. I've got some of the duo green/violet & the green is a very light aqua color, so I'd say the red in the duo red/blue would be on the pink side.

He don't have one up at the moment. The last one I seen posted was over this past weekend & it was a 2 cavity 702 mold.
-
He's been posting molds for sale on ebay. I did notice his prices have went quite a bit.

Stick baits like a senko have the most action using a soft plastic. If you use senkos more than any of the other baits, soft would probably be the way to go. If you ever get into making some of the finesse style baits, soft works best for those too. Most everything we produce uses a soft formula except for our crappie baits, jerk baits & frogs.
-
You can go with medium & buy a small bottle of softener to use for the senko baits or go straight soft & get more action but lose some durability. With the soft you can always melt them back down & make new ones once they get ripped up.

I use MF hot pink powder color when I want a very bright pink.
-
It takes time & money to patent a design which is something we're in the process of doing now with our designs. It's a must now with the Ukraine mold maker producing molds of patented baits & shipping them to the U.S. I'm already seeing guys making & selling baits on Facebook of patented designs. I'm just watching & waiting for those guys to get their letters.
-
The Slick Willie is a great mold. I've got two the 5" Pro Cavity molds & one of the 3.5" molds. I'm getting some custom drop shot molds made now & actually selling the 3.5" mold if interested.
