Gloomisman Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I tried this last night with out a divided cup. It worked good but without the divided cup its real messy and hard to pour. So I'll be working on a divided cup. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 where did you guys get the alumium funnel from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.J. Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 What are you guys using to cut your aluminum? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinko Baits Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Tin snips will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 If the aluminum is thin enough, plain scissors will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipLip Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I've cut a few pieces of aluminum and can't seem to get an exact template for the pyrex glass. Can you build the JB Weld up if you have any spaces between the seperater and the glass? Other than that I should be ready to go. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 If you want a template fill the pyrex with POP and let it set. Don't forget to grease the inside of the pyrex. After it sets up take it out; find the center line and then cut it from bottom to top. There's your template; just trace it out onto stiff paper. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I was wondering the same thing. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Interesting Idea's guys, might force me to be a bit more creative soon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 How about two templates with three colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think there's a limit to the number of chambers you can put in it. The size of the pouring spout will determine that. You have to be quite selective when you buy your pyrex because I've noticed that you will see slight differances in the size and shape of them if you look at all of the ones on the store shelf. I've seen some that were quite narrow and pointed while some others are wide and shallow. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Somebody mentioned that earlier and I went to K-mart at was amazed at the differences. I do have my favorite cups but never thought to look at the spouts. I recently found some smaller Pyrex in the one cup size. They measure one cup almost to the top. They are shorter, narrower and have smaller spouts which pour a much narrower stream than the regular one cup size you usually see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshimoto son Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 It might be easier to get a template of the pyrex cup if you were to fill it with plastic and cut it in half once it cooled down. I was thinkning maybe a big butcher knife or possible even a high tensile small diameter wire that could be pulled through. Just a thought. joshimoto son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I just cut a piece of cardboard (I used an empty Ritz cracker box). I made two sections and taped them together. Worked great and was fast and easy to do. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 A little challenge. Has any one tryed to pour a swim bait or beaver with two colors. Can I see a pic. I would like to see the swirl, one side semi clear the other dark so you can see the swirl threw the clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGDADDY814 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I Used To Pour Using A Big Medical Serenge. You Get The Plastic Hot And Pour It In The Serenge And Inject The Plastic To Insure No Voids. You Have To Be Careful And Wear A Glove Do To The Hot Plastic, But It Worked Great. Now I'm Thinking, What If You Took A Two Part Serenge Like The Dv2 And Injected It In The Mold . You Should Get A More Define Swirl Do To Plastic Being Pressed Into The Mold Simultaneously. Probably A Little More Work Than The Funnel Or Divider Cup But Its Gotta Work. What Do You Guys Think? Its Been A While Since I Poured Due To Learning How To Paint Cranks But I Just May Give This A Try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigmeister Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Good advice. But, I'm a bone head. I bought a new 1 cup pyrex filled it with POP and did so without lubing the inside. Yea, I broke it trying to get the mold out. Why not cover slightly over half the cup (between the handle and spout ) with duct tape . fill the cup just over half with POP . Then put the cup on it's side with the handle and spout level . When dry the POP would fall out and you would have a half cup template Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawghunterbaits Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) The way I have been making divided cups for years. I take a piece of cardbord cut it to fit into cup , do alot of trimming till it fits pretty snug, then trace that on to a piece of aluminum. If all goes well aluminum divider should fit like a glove. then just run a bead of jb weld around it on both sides. Let it set up for a day or two and your ready to pour some pretty good swirls! i heard Nova mention the turntable thing LOL I tried that about ten years ago and it makes some awesome swirls but like he said you have to have it centered on every hole. I made a jig to do that and it worked great but more trouble than what it was worth as you had to move the mold for each hole. Too time consumming! Good luck those first baits looked great!!!
