bluetickhound Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) I recently got the BT 302 frog and really like the baits (great action and no rolling unless you totally burn it in...) but I have a problem.... It's a side inject mold and the upside eye (in this case it's the left eye) always has a bubble void in it. Every. Single. Time. Whether I inject slowly, quickly, hotter plastic or cooler makes no difference.... I know it's because the way the mold is configured there is an air pocket that gets trapped as the mold fills up. My question is this: how can I reposition the mold securely so that I can inject it without winding up with a popeye frog? I'm not sure I want to clamp it in a vise at an angle as I don't want to damage the mold nor do I want to try to inject horizontally (no crude jokes please!!!) as I don't see how I could keep the sprue filled as the plastic cools....

MonteSS Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I put all my molds in a vise. Do you hold hard pressure at least 15 secs? ...Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetickhound Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 At least 15. For some molds I'll hold pressure up to 30 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
