bodfish Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hey Guys, thnx much for your responses, I am very interested in buying a few of these machines. Has anyone adapted the press to do multi color passes? bodfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I have been toying with the idea of a two color press. I was supposed to have it done by now but got way to busy this winter. I actually have three of these now and will get a two color one done soon because I could really use it. Since I got the first one it has never broke down and the heating elemant works like a charm. The temp stays where I put it for hours on end. The two color one will not look like this one at all. I have a differant way of setting it up in my mind. One bad thing is if you want to change colors it does take awhile to cool. But you want to buy multiples so that may not be an issue.

SHK Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 i would hold off a couple weeks just to see what Bear has up his sleeve here. here is a post from the other day on his forum. "Patience is a Virtue with the 2 color Injection process. And The Reality is almost here. Within 3 weeks we will be debuting a new 2 color Injector that will make all of you go wow. All I will say at the moment is that it works with the presto pots and they do not require cleaning or stopping once you begin the injection process. Do not ask any more questions about them as I will not answer. But we be will once again Changing the way you make plastic baits. So get ready and get your money saved up. We are trying to get the price together now but if all goes according to plans they will be very affordable versus a bench top injection machine. This is the most excited I have been about a product to date.!! It has the WOW Factor" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 There was a member here recently who built one of those using multiple presto pots for making laminates. I believe he showed the finished product but I can't seem to locate the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cormorant Lures Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 It was me, but what I did was adapt a blending block to work for hand-pouring duel colors by using two presto pots... This whole post is really starting to intrigue me... I have always been looking at the Jacob's press, but was never ready to buy one because it does NOT have the dual color capability... I have also always been intrigued by Bear's Bench Top Injection Machine, but I have been waiting to solidify my customer base before buying one because of the price... Hand injectors make nice looking baits, but the amount of scrap the injector's produce from the "plug" inside them as you inject is terrible!!! I am anxious for a product that the only scrap it produces is from the runners and the occasional bad bait... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormorant Lures Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Sounds like Bear is going to be "TIGHT LIPPED" on this one... To me, it also sounds like a dual color injection press... I would be VERY INTERESTED in buying one of these machines if it is what I think it is... I hope it can hold more plastic than the Jacob's press, eventhough I guess it wouldn't neccessarily matter... Three weeks is TO FAR AWAY ALREADY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then if you really believe you need a stirrer then this wont work. But it does for me. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHK Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 i mentioned it solely because someone mentioned multi-colour, currently from jacobs it is single colour only, and i saw the post on bears about a new 2 colour unit and figured i would post it.

toadfrog Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Give it some time . I think every body is trying to get to first base with a new injection two color. Jacob's will pop up with something cool before its over . Right now he is up to his neck in orders . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now he is up to his neck in orders . we are already beyond first base with 2 colour machine, its getting refined, easier to use and simpler to make it more affordable from what i understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J lure Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Damn the Jacobs injection machine went up to $2,500! At one time it was $999. I should of bought two then. Does anyone know if this machine has had any improvements since to $999 days? I tried emailing Jacob twice without any reply..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J lure Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Tell me about it I had 1200 saved and in a week or two I was going to order.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have one of the original ones and two of the newer ones. The newer ones have alot more to them as far as heat type shielding. At 999 you had to buy the heat controller and temp guage. Since the first one there has been heating added to the side to help out with the warm up process. The carriage on the side has been upgraded. To me dont really know why since mine works fine without a problem. This is what i know from having them. Great machine and very well made.

bodfish Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hey guys, good grief! $2500 what happened? What is the difference since the price increase? This blows my whole budget plan. Hmmm time to rethink. No news of the two color machine yet huh?,.. well. By the way who is Bear? and what is his machine like? bodfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
