Am I'm I a consummate professional with 25+ years experience? Yes.. I have 58+ years of experience. I couldn't care less about your tender little feelings. I shared my knowledge of solving the denting problems of some molds. Take it or leave it....

I'm someone wasting time sharing my personal experience on how to inject molds with denting problems. The question was asked and I shared what I found to work the best. (Increase the injection pressure time and the denting is eliminated.)

I didn't ask a question. I just shared info for what I've found to be the best way to avoid denting on some molds. Every mold injects differently. Some molds are more problematic than others for denting. It depends on the cavity shape and layout of the mold. You have to force more hot plastic into the cavities as the plastic cools and shrinks in the cavities. Watch the plastic in the injection port and runner of the mold after its injected and you can see the plastic shrink as it cools.

"Let us be unburdened by what has been" These are the words of a true American genius

360 degrees is too hot for light colors. It will turn yellowish quickly even with added heat stabilizer. I inject everything at 335-340 degrees. A pneumatic injector is for production use. Hobbyist are not a good source of reliable information.

Applying injection pressure for a longer period of time is the best way I have found to avoid denting on most molds. It sucks but it pushes more hot plastic into the mold as the plastisol cools and shrinks in the cavities. I have several molds that take 1-2 minutes of constant pressure to avoid denting. A pneumatic injector is ideal for that situation.

This is the only one that I'm aware of with that long of a lead time. Most good mold makers ship out in a few days.

I'm not aware of other resellers. You could buy bulk direct from Calhouns.

First impressions are lasting. I can't overcome the name and the bold face 3-4 business weeks lead time statement on the website. I can't imagine anyone would be happy with that wait time this day in age.

I would be leery about ordering anything from a company with that name. Is it some kinda joke? The website says; Our current lead time is approx 3 - 4 business weeks

Yeah, I knew you where full of sh--. You might want to try honesty next time.

Why will your specific blend not work in a microwave or SS setups? Heat it up to inject, and cool it down is constant with all plastisol baits.

Will you please post some pictures of your machine in operation? Where can I purchase your baits?
