toadfrog Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well it been a while since I posted another nutty Idea. I've been pretty busy helping folks with their projects. OK if you have a mandrel type tube mold, you don't want to cut the skirts anymore. Probably gone and bought an injected skirt mold. Now what are ya gonna do with the old one. Don't sell it adapt it. Here is how . Go down to the plumbing store and get some 1/4 inch brass shut off valve adapters the kind that allows you to slip a plastic hose on . Take a piece of wire or heavy bobbin threader run it through the flared end. Place a piece of skirt tab in the loop pull it through the the brass adapter leaving a small loop above the flared end. take out the wire put the filled adapter into you mandrel slot close the mold shoot it . Here are some pics to explain the rest of the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I like that idea. I have Jacobs baits mold the does a grub like that but th skirts pull out a little to easy for me. But feathers hold pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
