Anyone Else Using Floater Bubbles, My First Try With Them And New Mold

[Mudd Butt Baits]

So I used 4oz of plastic and 1 table spoon of bubbles and the hook sank about 2 inches in water, 6oz with 3 table spoons  hook sank about 1" in water.  I will try more tomorrow, I was talking with a guy that uses 50/50 does this sound like alot?  I also found that one or the other end was hollow?  A few were really nice, what causes this to happen?  How big should the fill hole be?  The fill hole is very small, but they said this way they can alwasy go bigger if needed.  The bait came out of the mold very nice, the bubbles were a little scary, when if the best time to add the bubbles?  I did notice they were clumping up and not mixing in?  I need this bait to FLOAT.  What do you guys think?

I have got 4oz plastic 502 to 6 tea spoon and getting pretty good results. Plastic seems like it will have good motion and still strong enough I think.

Can't help you but gotta say that's a nice mold... looks like it was machined on a 5 axis mill to give you that undercut in the "popper" area.... nice piece of work.

yes it was, took 12 hours to mill.  Thanks

Did you have to monitor and adjust the entire process for 12 hours, or was this the time the milling took after you programmed your mill?

I am just curious.

I can askt the guy, I believe that was the total time with both side.  I guess programming a not fun either.
