pastorshane Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 the nice thing about the aluminum is it heats up fast and the cup warms quick as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallie Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I divided a cup with plexiglass.I used silicone to fix it.I was warned it would warp from the heat and I admit it is warping at the bottom..However the plastics still do not touch each other.If it starts leaking into each other Ill just change the divider. Braveviper - No need to change the divider - you want to mix the colors in the end and I wouldn't think small leaks would be a problem.

Smallie Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Nice sticks Shane - I like how they are more like a laminate with the black having finger like droops onto the white. Reminds me of a yellow perch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastorshane Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 thanks Del, whats cool is in some of the baits there is a little gray, in between the colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Thats what I noticed. it looked like the colors blending in perfectly. now if you really want to get tricky try spinning the pouring cup around the mold slowly, it will also give you a wild swirling effect. one of my customers took a sit and spin apart and tooke the bearing cage out. then he made one out of wood. he then marked/drilled the wood with insertable pins that he could push the mold to the center of the hole for all holes by just sliding it. take out one pin slide it to the next etc. the swirls are fantastic looking. I never seen a black and white one, I am betting that would be an awsum bait it resembles shad colors. again nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delw Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 nice baits, the blue and black match the Jig nicely pour some jig trailers like that and you will have something no one else has. Have any of you tried your cups in a single sided mold? that would make some Awsum looking flukes, trailers and swimbaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Very nice dink, I haven't tried the cups on one piece molds yet, but thats coming just got to find time to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 You guys have the swirl colors down! Are ya'll pouring them with heavy salt like you would a 'normal' stick bait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Master Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yes - 1 cup plastic 1/2 cup salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 yes I use my normal stick formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squigster Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Wow, a 1/2 cup of salt to 1 cup of plastic? The plastic gotta look like oatmeal. I tried 1/4 cup of salt to 1 cup of plastic and could barely stir it enough to a consistency to dip a tube in let alone pour. Do you add softener to your plastic for you sticks? Does you sticks fall real fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dink Master Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yes I do use about a 1/4 cup softener. Standard Stik Formula? 1 cup plastic 1/2 cup salt (heat plastic & softener first) 1/4 cup softener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
