DelW 4" two piece worm mold

[BassnG3]

I was wondering if anyone has purchased a 4" two piece worm mold that Del offers on his site. I purchased one a couple of weeks ago and I can't seem to get the plastic all the way to the tail section and the mold clogs easily . I have talked to Del and he offered a few suggestions all of which have failed for me. He offered to exchange it out for a different mold but I wanted to see if there was anyone successfullyt using it because I like the worm itself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

When pouring a two part mold it is the same concept as pouring senko's. You need to heat the plastic up to pour real easy. You should pour to one side of the opening to allow air to escape while you are pouring. That is what solved my problem when I was pouring. Also it helps when you preheat your mold, even by letting them set in the sun prior to pouring helps. Good luck.

I am sure this will help get the plastic hotter than usuall and real runny, then pour the mold while holding it on a tilt.

Hope this solves the problem.

Make sure you are pouring without more than 15-20% salt in the mold.2 piece molds will cause air pockets to form in the cavity while you are pouring. My solution for this is as follows.

• 
  1: Tilt the mold to a 45 degree angle while you pour, this will let the plastic fill the tail area without cavitating and forming bubbles in the bait.
  2: A trick I learned is that you can pour the cavity about ? full and then tap the mold rapidly on an old RTV mold or a block of soft wood to get the bubbles out of it. Then pour the rest of the bait..

I hope this helps. You should not have to overheat the plastic to achieve satisfactory results, as you risk wasting your materials and ending up with an off color or burnt plastic.
