tylerd1994 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I got this mold and I was wondering why it won't come out right. I believe its the 6 inch. I poured as small and as steady as I could but for 4 straight times only half of the worm came out which was the bottom half. The rest was just a little string of plastic. How should I pour this to get it to work. Also you just pull the worm out of the mold right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBaits Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Alum mold or the rtv? Edit: Duhhhhh Im pretty sure you mean the rtv mold, your problem is you are pulling it out of the mold too early. To pour this one cavity mold you need to pour then retop the mold as needed, when it no longer needs to be retopped walk away and give it about 5 minutes to cool before you pull it out of the mold.

loco Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 i have the smaller mold. i have poured it a few times and have had some success. ive found that its best to slightly lean the mold to the side.....just a little by placing it in a glass or jar. let it rest on the jar and pour the plastic so that it hits the inside of the mold and runs down to the bottom. you will have to top the mold off a few times. pour it slow so there is no air bubbles or blank space in the middle of the pour. fill it from the bottom up slowly.....

tylerd1994 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 yeah i also just cut the excess pouring area off the top and put it in a little bowl thing to hold it up and i poured real slow and it turned out. I think I may have been squeezing the mold a little cause I was trying to hold it up straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I also have a few of these molds.notice there is a small vent hole on the bottom make sue its not cloged up and dont sit it flat on the table this will stop the air flow.these are a lil harder to pour by hand because the plastic stream touchs the side and the cavity gets smaller as the plastic bulids up .much more easy to do if poured with the poureing pots.also if pouring by hand with pyrex cup make the plastic a lil hoter the thin plastic will make a faster smaller stream.hope this helps.............

Poor Boy's Woman Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 All of these guys have good points. If you still can't get it, call and talk with my husband, Shawn, and he will be happy to help you!!! The keys are to have the plastic a little hotter than usual and to pour a little slower than usual too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman843 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 spend the extra and get the aluminum mold I had a hard time getting the worms out of the rtv they would break off inside to much hassle for me.lore craft has a pretty nice aluminum stick mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daakiy01 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I had a hard time with this mold as well until I realized that I could use the Netcraft injector to fill it from the bottom. The worms come out fine now. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
