champ198 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 i am looking at getting a weedless football jig mold...the one in Barlows that does both flat eye and normal is the one i am looking for but the main size head i want is a 1/2 oz.....does anyone know if there are any out there like this that all the cavities are the same size? would make it much faster if i could pour 3-4 heads at a time rather than doing just one at a time anyone have any ideas for this? would also like to have the same mold in 3/4 oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Champ, Unless you go custom I beleive you are stuck with one at a time. For going custom you can buy a blank mold from Do-it and take it to a local mahine shop and have them make what you want . Or have one made by someone like Collins. Both are expensive and take time. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just a note about pouring more than one at a time. A extra good percision mold is generaly one cavity. U gotta put a hook in one at the time ... is muti cavity really faster ?? I have both and seem to turn out more with the single cavity .. It must depend upon the individuals skills or what he is conditioned to .. ?? Like to see some more comments as I know there are some using centrifigual casting .... what appears to be the fastest (consider flashing being equal on all) ????

reeves Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I tend to agree with JSC on this one. Do-it makes very few production molds, mostly in the round ball-head jig styles. The fact is that you do have to load a hook for each jig, so you either do it eight times once, or once eight times? (did that make sense ?). In other words your time is practically equal, and I lean toward one at a time because when pouring multiples, often I get splash over from one cavity to the next, thus ruining that part. Centrifugal casting is far better and faster and the end part is a part that does not require sprue removal and seldom any clean up to the part. For production purposes, this is the way to go.

JSC Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanx George You confirmed my way of thinking ... I had seen several post with statements about multiple cavities that I was thinking it mite be me. Had not been as fimiliar with centrifugal casting to know .. thanx for that info.
