atijigs Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Slow easy pressure on your injector.. Keep pressure for a few seconds after the mold is full. You could just top off the sprue too. The dents are from suck back upon cooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishoey Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 If there is air in the injector it could be causing it too. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHK Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 If there is air in the injector it could be causing it too. Just a thought. air in the injector will not cause a dent, it will cause a bubble. shoot wil the plastic a little cooler, i like around 320 myself, hold pressure after filling the mold for about 10 secondsand top off the mold.

DaBehr Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Cooler....slower....hold pressure. If that doesn't work...get the bait out of the mold as soon as possible so that it shrinks evenly. Chances are you are getting the dent in a location close to the edge of the mold...that cools first and then gets sucked in as the body cools (and shrinks). If you go the route of getting it out of the mold quicker..make sure you wear your gloves!!!! I use a small pair of needle nose plies to grab the runner and pull them out. If you pull them out too soon there will still be molten plastic in the sprue/runners and bait....so USE THOSE GLOVES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAbaitmaker Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I've noticed on multi cavity stick molds, if they are to hot it will also create dents on the stick baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
