Frank Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Ok got it. But really start with new plastic and make it easier to get this right without to many variables. When you get a dent have you ever cut the bait in half to see if it is a bubble or just schrinkage? If it is a bubble then find out where it is happening and fix it. On the nozzle drilling I have tried most of what people are stating but found when it gets to big it causes a lot of turbulence and really does not matter if the gate is smaller than the hole in the tip. It causes more of a spraying action inside the mold. Work slow and on,y change one thing at a time this way you will know when it is fixed. You know sometimes I have to shoot below 300 to get good baits. How are you getting your temp readings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS Julio Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 im using a craftsman temperature reader the one that looks like a small handgun. cost me 80 bucks but this thing is on point. I tried opening the gate a bit but still getting same results. spoke to the manufacturer he said to try different things and if I wasn't successful to send it back and he would still replace it. stand up type of guy..

Frank Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yes as a matter of fact he is one stand up guy. Most all of the mold makers are. I know the last thing you want to hear is that is shoots fine for everyone but you. So back to your problem. Did you cut the baits to see if it was a bubble? Are you moving in a flowing motion to get the injector on the mold? Some hesitation could cause a bubble to form in the tip, say when it drips on the way to the mold. You say the temp gun is spot on but how are you comparing it to find that out? Have you shot enough plastic to know how the changes effect your final product? Did you recently change plastic manufacturers? All of these questions could be the key to getting to the bottom of this. So lets figure it out. Change be thing at a time and see what happens.
