Dont Get Rid Of Your Hand Pour Molds

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to give a big THANKS to FuzzyGrub. He was gracious enough to send me his first prototype adapter. I tried it out this weekend and it worked great. If I get a chance, I'll try using the blending block with it. It's getting a little cold in the evenings. I'm sure some of you are going to laugh when I say it's getting down into the 40's and even 30's. Brrrrrr.

I'm curious to see if it can shoot a laminate.

Yes it will shoot a laminate just fine.

It finally warmed up enough (34F) so I could run ventilation and pour the blocks. The pour went well. You do need to fill the mold right to the rim. It is also recommended that as soon as the resin sets, to remove the copper tubes. I didn't on a few, and the heat from curing softened the caulk that was in the ends of the tubes. Removing them after the cure was a little more tricky. I heated the copper pipe with a butane lighter so the resin block would not chip or break.

I ended up making five 4" blocks, two 2" blocks, and one large 5.25" block. The large block is for a Del's 3" stick bait pour mold. The 2" blocks are for a small Reaper mold, shooting two injector molds together, and extra sprue for injection molds. Plenty for now!

I hope this helps others extend the use of their pour molds.
