Tm Customs Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 As much as I love pouring baits, this really got me. I just spilled a little bit of plastic on my hand. This is a lesson dont fill you pouring cups up too high or this might happen and it hurts so don't. Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlystreamer Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 ohh! That looks sore. Kind of smarts huh? I did that with lead once. That will take the skin off, a couple layers deep. Ya all be careful with that stuff, plastic and lead. It'll get you when your not watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 That's so true George. The sad thing is..... the more you pour, the less cautious you become. Accidents are more likely to happen with experience. My hands are one big glob of scars and calluses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I have learned that being scarred in NOT attractive to my wife , so here is my remedy for all you dyed in the wool hand pourers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnG3 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Try mechanics gloves there are less cumbersome and you don't have to take them off as often. BassnG3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 How heat resistant are they ? I have'nt heard of those before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlystreamer Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Good idea for some I guess, but if I were to put my callused scarred fingers in a pair of gloves some thing terrible would happen. I'd wear them out just taking them off and putting them back on. Don't think I could handle a hook with the cloves on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I think it depends on what your pouring weather or not you wear gloves. I can see trying to pour little legs of tails with bulky gloves. But for simple sticks and lager baits they might be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnG3 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 They sell them in auto parts stores and work good with pyrex cups. BassnG3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 IF you get hot plastic on your skin, rather then rub the hot plastic into your skin, plunge the area into cool the water you are droping the finished baits into. The plastic hardens and peels right off. I've saved myself a few times this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delw Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'll share a little story. Bobby and I were playing wiith an injector last year(one of the plastic ones... Mistake 1) had a 2 piece mold and we figured we would inject some plastic into it. We first off I decided I would hold it closed, instead of useing the nuts and pins(mistake 2) so I'm holding the mold, bobbys shooting the injector. heck it was working great when all of a sudden the injector melted. of course it went all over my hand and up my arm. I couldnt get it off fast enough, made it to the sink where the water was but it was too late. the plastic from the injector is worse than the worm plastic. The burned was one of the nastiest I have ever seen, burned right down to the knuckle 1/8-1/4" of skin deep and 1-2 inches long. I was going to fish an everstart touny and was prefishing, couldnt fish worth a crap, couldnt even hold the rod with out the burn cracking and bleeding for a month. I did save $650 cause I wasnt on fish anyway Moral to the story... Dont use those plastic injectors dont do things quick or in a hurry Be careful and wear gloves if you can.
