Another Nutty Idea

[toadfrog]

I Hate wearing gloves to do anything . So while injecting my crappie baits in lue of fall , my eye fell on an old thermos bottle I had on the shelf . This thermos had a handle attached to it by zip ties . That is when a glimmer of light hit me . It looked like it would fit my injector . Yep it did . Probably change to hose clamps to hold it on . But for now here it is for grins and giggles .

Great idea. It will be interesting to see how it handles the heat. Gloves might still be a good idea just to protect your hands for 300+ degree plastic spillage.

 

I'm looking around for something that will work as a handle for the Shooting Star injector.  I have to hold that one with an oven mitt. Once, I put a piece of duct tape on one side to help me remember colors.  It cooked off.

Look around for a bake lite handle on old appliances . I think they still sell this type handle for thermos bottles . I've used it for quite a while and haven't even had to change the zip ties yet . But they slide . That is why I'll probably go to hose clamps .  Just scribe both sides of the injector. Laminates always have a light and dark side . So just mark it that way . One of those electric pin scribes run around 5 bucks .

i would not mess around with hot plastic without gloves on.

 

i take it you have never gotten any 300+ degree plastic on you... once you do, you will take every precaution you can.

 

my advice is to find some gloves that you like, whether it takes trying a couple or a dozen out. wear gloves or you will regret it.

I've had hot lead , hot plastic, 440 electricity shot through me and a dozen other tihngs . Lost an eye , broke my neck . The thing that hurt the worst was when my gal moved away . Pain is my friend  it tells me I'm not dead yet . LOL

I like it! 

 

I use phenolic handles and on stuff that the handle has to be directly exposed to the heat source.  When I make a lead mold it gets phenolic handles.  I used cheaper plastics for injector plunger handles.  I get both from McMaster. 

 

I was actually thinking about putting a handle on my blending blocks to make switching from mold to mold easier

baitjunkys have a blending block with a handle check it out it works really well

Seen the bait junkies system .Good stuff  for the guy that is flailing away all the time in plastics . I'm just an old hillbilly doing the best he can with what I've got . LOL

 jbob I'm getting old and slow in the knoggin . Can't hear , Can't see , can't pee . My doctor looks like I need to change his diaper and prescribes me medicine I used to take for recreation . By the way where is that walker .
