Injection Molds

Recommended Posts

I am curious as to how you use an injection mold. I have seen in the classifieds there are people selling injection molds and have talked with Del about maving a mold made and he said it would have to be an injection mold. Where can you buy something to inject these molds?

loco,

these things are dangerous. You can go into the search and posts will come up with safety issues about these injectors. They are nothing but trouble. When you get burned with 350 deg plastic you will totally understand. I've got a nice scar and there are other members that have them as well from this thing. best to stick with pouring. It in itself has it's hazzards when you get careless and don't pay attention to detail.

You can purchase one from Lurecraft but I don't like their nozzle or the insulation they use on the pot. The nozzle is a burn waiting to happen and the insulation does not insulate well at all. I built one myself and then purchased one from LC. Their agitator's are not very sturdy and the motors are not that strong, but anytime your putting pressure on something that's 325 degrees or above then you automatically have a work hazard. A good leather glove is a must. If you get hot plastic on you before you know it you've tried to wipe it off with the other hand, now you have two burns or either you wipe it off on your clothes and you have a new pair of plastic pants, if you'd like some help building one, PM me. It's takes a good bit of time and probably around 500 bucks. You can make them very safe, in other words, they won't blow up or nothing. If you go to the thread "Where do you pour", you can see pictures of the injectors that I posted.
