Ryno Plastics Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Just an idea, don't know if anyone would be interested. Now that we've completed our soft plastic swap (Thanks to Mercury), what about trading some molds : I make my own molds out of plaster, usually just a couple cavities at a time. I thought it would be kind of cool to make a few molds and trade 'em. I guess the only problem would be covering the shipping costs. However, a 2 or 3 cavity plaster mold would be a sinch to make...and pretty fun, If you have nothing better to do like me Like I said, just an idea. If I'm crazy, don't be afraid to say so Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Very cool idea. I'm in if this one flies! Have to keep the participants down to 1/2 dozen or so though....or organize single swaps or somthing to keep the shipping down, and participant enthusiasim up. Lets keep in mind the Xmas season when setting deadlines too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I'm game! I agree with BigSplash, we'll have to keep the number down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno Plastics Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I agree with Big Splash too, gonna have to limit the participants down to a half dozen or so. I guess the next question is who's in? I think we're also going to need someone to run it, any volunteers? I won't be around the house too much in the next few weeks so I don't think I'd be very reliable. If there's anyone out there that would like to participate and wouldn't mind running things, I'd appreciate it! Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hi fellas, All future TU hosted swaps will need to be staffed by a moderator. Only to keep the participants within a reasonable amount & also, the mods have ability to "affect" a users account if they dont come thru in the end. I dont wanna deter anyone from forming a swap, I just want one of the mods in charge. I wouldnt wish anyone to have to deal with the work that Mercury put forth in the last one If theres enough interest, I'll assign a mod to the swap or I can cover it, shoot, I think Im interested in gettin in on it myself Hey, I wonder if we can talk Del into gettin in on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hey Red, I didnt think of having the staffers put it together. and I see where your coming from. Good point. Kinda like protection for the participants. Good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hey guys looks like we have enough interest in this swap already. We really should keep the numbers down... I think we have four interesed now. Red do you want to handle this one? A deadline sometime in the New Year would be allright to me... Chistmas season and all.

redg8r Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I can do 5 or 6, but if you wanna run with 4 just say the word. I agree with the mailing date. lets set a date at 12/27/03 lets have em in the mail by then. Lets do $7 bucks to cover shipping, whats left over will take care of extra needed to get the molds to big splash up in Canada.

Ryno Plastics Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hey Red, I wouldn't mind doing 5 or 6 either but whatever you guys would like. How many cavities are we shootin' for? Two, three, four? Any particular styles you guys are looking for? Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I would do 6 if we can generate the interest. It seems like we always have an extra or two joining up anyway. I would expect to get a couple more participants as this swap gets organized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno Plastics Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Are we stickin' with just the 5 of us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hello, this is my first time posting but i would like to get in on the swap if it is not to late.This site is great, glad to be a member. Bob (BTSBAITS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Looks like 6 to me, if Mercury is in. As to cavities, Id like at least 4, but 4 different baits on one mold would be even better IMO, but not required, do what your comfortable with. Changing your routine would just make it harder. Plaster, resin, RTV, aluminum, anything....as long as it works. Make sure you package the molds carefully & mark em "FRAGILE", or "GLASS", especially if your sending plaster. I'll take the same care when they go back out. If at anytime you decide you cant finish the swap, or will be delayed, contact me immediately. if theres still enough time, we'll take in a repalcement for you, no questions asked. So work for 6 molds fellas, if Mercury wasn't wantin in, well take one more, until then..... Signup is over 1) Ryno Plastics 2) Basskat 3) Big Splash 4) robert (BTSBaits) 5) Mercury 6) red-g8r Awesome, cant wait, but have to until the week of 12/27. Happy pouring!

Mercury Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Sorry but no Im not in. I was only replying to your previous post. With deer season going on I wont have the time until I fill my tags. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I started my molds last night. I'm not a master at mold making by any means, but they work. We going to pay our six bucks by Paypal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Red... without Merc it would be five right? Or should we build it anyway, in case someone else joins in? Also; six molds would be enough for one for ourselves, right? I would like to suggest we don't send a mold out for you to send back to us (our own), to help keep shipping to a min. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think? Correct & correct.... With no one else stepping in, just mail out 4 molds. I'll package them accordingly. As to basskats question, yes, paypal or or send check or MO along with your molds......the address is posted previously in this thread. As you near completion of your molds, post back in here & let us know. If we finish early, we can mail em out early, sound good? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Splash Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 I've one set finished, sort of a back up plan.... now I'm wondering...do I have time to build a different set and still make the deadline...hmmmm? I have been wanting to try something new... I really get inspired by these swaps. I've even come up with some very interesting new designs! Now I want to try new way of pouring a set of molds. OK back to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
