Zbass Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 here is a link to the gallery that shows some of the 2 color injected baits I did today. They turned out really well and am real happy with the results. Did not know what to expect as I have not used an injector at all before this weekend. Tackleunderground Home - Luremakers Photo Gallery - 2 color injections So if you were wondering if you can do 2 color stuff with the injector, the answer is heck yeah!

Zbass Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 thanks guys, but it is mostly in the system. It is easier than using a divided pot. The thing that got me was they almost came out more like a laminate rather than a swirl. I will be playing some more with the injector and will keep you guys posted. So far it has really impressed me. It takes a learning curve, which I am still in by the way, and a couple more safety measures. But safety is a good thing.

pigdestroyer Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Did you use 2 injectors? I am trying to figure out how you got the 2 colors without them mixing. I am pretty new with the injector. Still trying to do 1 color without making a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 PD, They were done with one injector. Did some experimentation on how I got the plastic into the injector and this is what came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigdestroyer Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 They look great. I might have to mess around and try to duplicate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintaskevin Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Those look really good. Did you divide your injector and pour the plastic into each side, then turn it around and pour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 No, I did not divide the injector. You just pull the seperate colors into the injector and away you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipLip Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Z, how hard is the unit to clean when changing colors? Are you just pulling from a presto pot or something else. Also can that thing fit into normal molds or just the ones on Bears site designed for it? Nice baits everything looks great that you are doing.

Zbass Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 hey Rip, I'm sure you probably read this already but thought I would put it here if not. http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/soft-plastics/17201-injectors-molds.html In post #1 I touch on the use of other molds. It can be done. My experience, which is limited at this point, I found it kinda difficult to top off the sprues when needed. Since that post however, it has become a little easier. I modified a few sprues to try it and it helped. There is a learning curve with this just like anything else. I am at the bottom of the curve right now. Time will help. Hope that helped.
