BassAkwards Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Some people may pour them while the mold is put together, but I pour into part of the mold then wait a minute and then put it back together and pour my second color which has to be really hot.

MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 they dont come apart were the two colors meet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinrick Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 they don't come apart the bait is pretty much perfect except the line where the colors meet is not straight I have tried hard to pour the first side of the mold even as I can but atleast one side of the bait comes out some where down the bait wavey or not perfectly straight:huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Maybe if you pour in the first half with the first color but don't fill it all the way. Then while it is still hot use your second color to top it off. Then put the mold back together then finish pouring your second color. That should solve the stright line issue. I hope.

One Sock Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 ahh laminates are tricky, steady hand and consitent fill on the first half is the key to that straight line. I have been doing them for a few years now and still get the wavy line from time to time, unless I have complete quiet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Put a glove on and hold the mold while pouring. Then you can tip the mold from side to side while pouring to even out your pour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
