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.

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?
-
Who makes your vertical injection machine?
-
What is a centre rotating manifold?
-
When you have orders to fill and no raw materials, waiting is not an option.

He lost me as a long time customer. I always liked the product quality but if its unavailable, then the quality doesn't matter anymore. That 90 minute infomercial video sealed the deal for me. I can see now why some molds are outrageously expensive. Baitchuckin is getting paid to advertise to the 6-12 people that actually watch the videos.

Most small family owned businesses fail when the 2nd or 3rd generation take over operations. They just do not have the drive to succeed that the original owner had.
-
I agree 100 percent. I hope they have deep enough pockets to reinvent a working 53 year old business. Maybe they are hoping for a buy out.
-
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is temporary and they are still in business but it doesn't look good. Mold makers may very well start dropping like flies also. Inflation has killed the market.
-
I hope they haven't gone out of business. I use their products. Sadly, the current economic conditions have completely destroyed the market for bait making supplies and molds.
-
Litterally???
-
A machinist that can't make both mold halves the same height isn't worth a sh--. That has nothing to do with the laminate problem but I would have returned it just for the shoddy workmanship.
