Thanks! I went a little darker on the bottom than I wanted and the gunmetal glitter didn’t help lol. I was thinking of shooting the same purple top with a translucent purple or pink bottom. Thoughts?
-
Well since I shimmed it with some aluminum tape and calming down my speed, I’ll have one funky run and correct myself to get the lamination I desire. If it’s a little off I chalk it up to nature lol.

And something different than flukes

I give you purple smoke

Thank you sir! Totally experimental for sure! Once I get comfortable I will start writing down recipes!
-
Thanks for the advice. After slowing down I think I have built some “muscle memory”.
-
Looks to me as they are liking the sauce! Great job!
-
I also have 7 inch senko and finesse worms.

Well you may just be my first order lol. Here are some more I did today
-
Oh I learned very quickly not to call a blending block a c-block. My temps were all pretty close to each other every time I shot but it was more the speed. Once I learned to control it beautiful laminates came out. Thanks again!

Thanks! When I get good one day I’ll start selling stuff. I’ve literally been at it for only 3 weeks lol.

Thanks! It was actually a friend that wanted that combo! The key for me was at 315 degrees and slowing down tremendously! Here’s the break down! Top: watermelon 5 drops pinch of green high lite black and red .015 Bottom: 20 drops of blaze orange 5-7 drops of black

Well I thank you all for the advice. It is shooting fantastically!!j
-
I was 100% looking for some as soon as you said shim it out lol. I have some somewhere. I will definitely go that route. I hope I get this fixed tonight. It is bothering the crap out me scouring YouTube and seeing all these wonderful perfect lines and I have this bleeding nonsense
-
Thanks for the advice. I didn’t even think about shimming. I will try that. I’m also going to clamp the block to the mold. I noticed the block is a little loose in the mold which is understandable, and doing a dry run it was slighting spinning and not parallel
-
Well update. Talked to the manufacturer and they said it was in tolerance and explained the whole temperature thing again. Makes zero sense. Apparently if you use the word C-block that throws into a different conversation. I know I am using a blending block. It is just fustrating
-
And this is what I was afraid of. Brand new mold from a high reputable company. I sent them an email about it. I don’t want to grind on it and mess it up. Thank you for the help. I had a feeling it shooting perfect in one mold ( blending block sits flat) versus the jerk bait mold (not flat) is allowing me to shoot at a slight angle causing more plastic to fill in the belly causing the bleed
-
I don’t know how the YouTube guys are getting perfect baits. Lol. Makes me upset
-
Having issues with bleeding and wanted to get thoughts. I’ve done the research and found viscosity and temp play a major role. I’m shooting at 300-320 and one side of my laminate is looking great. The other side bleeds?! I have also discovered my C-block is not sitting level on the mold it self. Could this be the issue? I’ve attached pictures. It has done this same thing every time. 20 something baits. It’s not the bleeding block because I shot a perfect laminate in a 7 inch senko mold. Any help much appreciated!
