smallmouthaholic Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 The tubes are dipped in hot,clear plastisol after wards. There's a few other tricks to get a 3 color laminate effect. Bojon- thank you!You should see my green pumpkin,golden orange/pumpkin craw They do take time to inject,then dip but the finished results are excellent. The laminates are the cat's meow for sure. I spent hours and hours and days w/the learning curve - I think I almost drove David Alexander (Bear) crazy w/the phone calls but his patience and my "never say quit" persona plus some innovative tinkering prevailed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Al, is it possible to do a firetail with the injection system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmouthaholic Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Al, is it possible to do a firetail with the injection system? Craig, NO! But there is an effective way around that to produce a very similar and productive effect. Use your imagination - it only took me two weeks to figure it out after mastering the laminates.

bojon Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Bojon, would you like to post a video where you show us your dipping system, in special the horizontal one? I tried to look for it, but I wasn't able to find till now. I'm sure that it could be useful for a lot of guys like me, whose don't want to spend money in an injection mold. Thank you in advance for your teaching. Bye Piero. I really don't know how to put pictures on this site.I have tried,and guys have tried to help.I have a good computer,and cameras,the problem is the gray matter between the ears.There was a brief movie years ago that was posted.It gave the general idea.I would have to burn the photos on a disc,and have some one enter it on this site in my behalf.The problem is to keep it short enough,and informative.I'm still willing to try.I'm not secretive with my info for I've helped hundreds get started.It is a matter of not having the know how to enter the stuff on this site.
