ipt Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 i have seen people who drill out the side and plug the top injection port. does anyone have a good system for shooting top injection molds sideways? i can hold the mold on its side and shoot it, but i was wondering if anyone has come with a good system, such as a 90 degree copper fitting or something.

Frank Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just curious why do you want to inject on the side? Most of the time it means more sprue and if it is a laminate it means more waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 i've had better luck with side injection. it cuts down on pitting by a long shot. pitting isnt a huge issue but it happens way more often on top ports. but the biggest thing is because a side injected bait has way more appeal in terms of the glitter. top port baits never have surface glitter, its always stuck in the middle of the bait.

Frank Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Funny I get more hollows on side sprue molds. Just at the top of the cavitys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
