bhorlings Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 I got my first stik kit from Del today along with the mold I bought from Jig_Chucker_20x over at Del's site. Here are my pics of the lab. What do you think. I will post my first pours tonight. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubinator Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Avoid the headaches, install good ventilation! Looks good otherwise:yeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverrat Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 The lab won't stay that organized for long. Have fun, let us know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Thanks for the tip. I will install ventilation this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I know it won't stay that way... that's why I took the pictures to remind myself. So far I do not know how long it takes for these things to setup. I am not sure if I got the plastic hot enough either. I nuked it for two minutes, then added salt and color, then one minute and a few times at 30 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassnG3 Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 TOO NEAT!! Looks good it won't be neat for long and soon you will be churning out some great baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 If your glitter does not suspend then plastic is to hot, thats how I judge. You will get the hang of it. Ask these guy's your questions, believe me they helped me loads! I always add salt before heating, then heat in two 1 minute intervals then stir well, heat another minute, add color and glitter stir till my arm falls off:huh: , heat 30 seconds add scent stir stir stir and pour. Every micro is differant. You'll get it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Better be careful... Folks like the law enforcement in MO don't like it when organized labs get setup and started cookin! Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Thanks for the encouragement everyone. The tips are beneficial and I have only poured once so far. I cannot wait to pour some more this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Wow.....SOMEONE'S ready to pour!! Great lookin' set-up there. My first.......uhhh....."lab" was a hot plate, pillow, and a chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Looks great! Two things I would recommend are: 1. Make sure you have ventilation. 2. If its not already, screw that board down to the horses. Last thing you want is a cup of 325 degree plastic going through the air . Good luck and congrats on your new addiction, .

bhorlings Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Wife gave me the okay on ventilation after she walked downstairs last night. I guess some things you have to see yourself. Thanks for the idea about screwing down the board jmik26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Better be careful... Folks like the law enforcement in MO don't like it when organized labs get setup and started cookin!Bruce LOL you aint kidding. I dont live far from the pd. I'm waiting for that day where I turn around and see cops. Probably be swat or something. Then I'll be like. Dang dudes y'all got dressed up to watch me make fishing lures:whistle: Nice lab dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Wow looks nice and clean, One suggestion if I can. use a laminated counter top type wood for the top and everything else you sit plastic stuff on. they sell them at home depot in a 4x8 foot sheet with one side white laminate ( I think thats what you call it). its much easier to clean it and keep you stuff all nice and neat.

BASSV18 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Mine was that way for about 5 minutes then a hurricane came through. I stopped using a mircowave and put a liquid spout in a fry daddy it works great. Nice setup though!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
