Slammingjack Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Here in Florida it's all ready getting into the upper 80's. when I started this "HOBBY" it was very cool in my garage. Already I have found out A) it takes longer for the baits to setup in the mold. if the door is open at night and the lights are on. Bugs will fly into a bait you are pouring. Hmmm maybe a new scent.(moth). So I got to thinking. Is there anything I should know about pouring in a garage, when it will be 100+. Do I need to put anything in a cooler place? Other then me. Bagged baits, powders anything you know of? BTW the bug died real fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 slamminjack, I found that I need to have a couple of fans blowing on the molds or it takes alot longer before I can de-mold. I don't have a really bad bug problem so I tend to pour plastics in the early morning or evening.with the garage door open. And I have a fan on me.

Bassinfool Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Fans are your friend, both on you as well as on your molds. As for bugs, burn some citrenella candles or have one of those Off! things that you clip on you or place near you that are supposed to keep the bugs away. Of course, moths and other bugs are attracted to light so if you are pouring at night with the lights on you may have some moths and other insects that aren't bothered by the citronella candles or Off! thing that may still come in to your work area. Other than that, the only thing that will change is the time it takes for the baits to cure since they will be in a warmer environment almost the entire day including at night as opposed to winter and fall.
