Saltfisher Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ok guys, try number 2 shooting lams. I did the same as last time, red shad. Except this time, i added pearl powder to the red. I also made my own version of baby bass. Its bears green pumpkin with small and large black flake, and white on the other side with 1 drop of black to get a cream color. Then added some small black flake, and a little holo flake. Let me know what you guys think...

Basscandy92040 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 The line between the colors looks great. Real good looking laminate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinamike Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Great job, are you using a twin injector? Looks like you've got laminates down pat, next try a pulse laminate thats done by injecting one color then another, this will give you swirls or bands, its just according to how fast you alternate the 2 colors.

Saltfisher Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks guys. Im just using 2 bears medium injectors, and a bass tackle blending block. Its even harder for me, because my one injector has a bigger black screw on ball on the end, and the other injector has a smaller one. Not sure why.... but thats how I got them. Im thinking of trying the twinjector from BT. Now when you say pulse laminate, are you alternating colors more then 2 times? say for the baby bass color... I would suck up white in one injector, and green in the other. Then just shoot a little out of each injector? white, then green, then white, then green? Maybe I will try this....

carolinamike Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Saltfisher, you got it, one color then the other until you fill the mold. Cant wait to see your pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 look great in terms of the blending. i'd even darken the white a little more on the bass colored one. just my opinion though, its all personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinjunkie88 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Those are pretty sweet. I haven't ventured into the injection pours yet. I may soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassinjunkie88 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I tried doing a laminate by hand on my senko sticks. Poured one side opened and then closed and tried to pour the other side...not injected. Seems like its clogging easily. Any suggestions on hw to fix this? Trying not to get the plastic too hot as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying not to get the plastic too hot as well. dont pour all the way up to the top, leave a little room by the sprue. wont be too noticeable.

Little man baits Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Your first color should be at 340ish and your second color should be hotter. But for hand pouring u need to get a small stream going for your second color. Other wise it will just clog like u said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinjunkie88 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I just ordered the all in one twinjector from BT today...any advise on using it for laminates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltfisher Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I never used one, but shouldnt be any different then using 2 bears medium injectors with blending block. Let us know how it works out for you, as i am also thinking of getting one of the BT twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
