bluetickhound Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Did a search and didn't get any hits... I just started pouring last night for the first time and when I cut the sprue off of my worms it is kinda ugly... How do you get the ends rounded to make it look like you know what you're doing? Would a torch of some sort (like a brazing torch that uses MAPP gas) work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieterbez Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I found just pulling of the bait from the spruce makes it look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetickhound Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I tried that but my mold produces a fairly thick sprue and it leaves a ragged edge when I do that... I'd like for the heads of the worms to be as nicely rounded as the tails.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I like my worms to be flat on the end so that they snug up to a sinker when I TX rig them so I cut mine off flat. That being said, if you want to round them out there are a couple of ways: heat the end with a candle or dip the end in hot plastisol.

bluetickhound Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Dipping the end in plastisol sounds like the ticket for me! It would beef up the head just a bit also... Thanks for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
