B and D Lures Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I have been pouring soft plastics since 1997. I have learned quite a bit and I know that I will continue to learn in the future. One thing that I have not learned because I have been putting it off is POURING LAMINATES. Is there a tutorial or anything in writing that can help to acomplish this feat? Thanks to all.

longhorn Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Are you talking about one-piece or two-piece molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B and D Lures Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 One or two piece molds, either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 In an open mold you pour the first color; let it set for a few seconds and then pour the second color on top. Some guys allow the first layer to cool quite a bit; but I don't.(personal preferance). I even like to pour the second layer as soon as I can. This will give you a blended look to the lamination which to me is more natural than a fine line connection of the two colors. Try to master laminations in open molds before you move on to 2 piece molds. (this can be tricky). Show us some pics when you get going. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B and D Lures Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nova, Thanks for the info. I will start trying once I finish an international order. My biggest seller is red shad B & D Stick Worms. Would you have a color recipe for that color? Again thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 If you look in the recipie sticky you will see a recipie that uses red highlight. If you use this for one side and black for the other you will have a very different red shad. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 just a guess the stick bait is the seller he want to do them in red shad or maybe he needs a better vent system lol just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B and D Lures Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Well guys, thanks for your imputs. But right now I purchase the red shad sticks in bulk. I am trying to do them myself instead of buying them. If I can make them, I will sell them and make more profit than if I buy them.

bear21211 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 B&D I have had great success with using the hand injector when doing the laminates. The one thing about them no timing to worry about getting cold joints and it is very consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clemmy Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 B&D It wouldn't really work on a production basis, but another option for laminates if you have aluminum molds is to simply pour cold plastic and bake 'em... Clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since everyone else is wondering... I'll ask.. How can you pour cold plastic into a 2 piece mold and bake it to result in a laminate color? I am curious on the process with a 2 piece mold as I can't figure it out in my head... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clemmy Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Lol...Well I meant in a one piece mold... But if pressed..I guess I'd bake em open faced..and put the halves together as they cool... Or Pour hot plastic (perhaps with a touch more heat stab.) in to the two piece mold halves..let cool enough toset, then put together...put in preheated toaster oven for about 5-10 minutes..and..viola! Or As above but hit it with a heat gun for a bit... Clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
