Bobby Saffel Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Well I got my hardener today. I first added a teaspoon per cup of plastic. It still dinted bad. I ended up adding a total of 8 teaspoons of hardener and haven't gotten much better. Im on the verge of pulling my hair out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Saffel Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Smallmouth asked if I my mold was vented, so I figured I could post pictures of the mold to show what I'm working with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallmouthaholic Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Well I got my hardener today. I first added a teaspoon per cup of plastic. It still dinted bad. I ended up adding a total of 8 teaspoons of hardener and haven't gotten much better. Im on the verge of pulling my hair out If I put 4 tablespoons (or 8 teaspoons)of hardener in 1 cup of plastisol i'd end up w/ concrete. If you wish,mail the mold to me and I'll inject it- then I'll call you w/ my results. My phone number is on my website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Saffel Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Well I believe I fixed it. I had enough and took a file to it. I open the runners from the sprue to the cavities. Im an still having small dints at times but it isn't nowhere near as bad. My dad has a milling machine at work. I will bring it to to clean it up for me. I believe I got somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHK Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 that is the root of the problem, the gate is closing off and hardening before the bait is cooled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Saffel Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks alot guys. I feel once I get the runner cleaned up the denting issue will be gone. I can't get that done until Monday, I will get that done and let y'all know the verdict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
