Lilpdriverrat Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Looking at buying one. I have an injector already and I thought about getting a blending block and another injector and fabricating a way to keep the injectors together instead of paying the extra $100 for the whole unit. For those that have one, is it worth the extra money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 My personal opinion ? Yes. You have a lot going on at once. I have a baitjunkys with the handle setup. Worth every penny imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yes it is well worth it. I have the first one Basstackle ever produced and it is still going. If you already have one injector just keep it you will use it. There is a lot more than just something to keep them together. It is more of a whole package. It does take a bit of getting use to but with a proven product it take a lot of the guess work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I would get the smaller( 3 oz I think?) size as it's easier to handle when shooting the mold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flippin 416 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 How do you create the swirl with the Twinjector system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 swirls are tough, you pretty much need to get your injector or mold to spin while you inject. the easiest way to do it is to pulsate the injectors back and fourth slowly. it wont give you a real swirl but it will give it a similar look of both colors mixed randomly.

Can't you set your temperatures to different levels for each colour and they'll swirl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 i was under the impression different temperatures would just create a jagged seem. havent tried it much myself but would like to see some pics of swirls done with diff temperatures on the twin injector with both injectors shooting evenly.

Apdriver Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Here's one I did awhile back in a 702 using the alternating injection method and a stick that laminate that made a little swirl where the two colors met while just producing a laminate. I liked how this stick came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilpdriverrat Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the info. I ordered it Saturday and it arrived today. Looking at it, it appears I made the right choice. Now time to start injecting Edited January 14, 2015 by Lilpdriverrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now time to start injecting You did make a good choice. The Twinjector is well made and will last for years. One statement you made was not exactly right though, now it is time to start LAMINATING you were injecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apdriver Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Apdriver- How did you get that effect on those sticks? I really like it. I used the twin injector and they just turned out that way. I did have do its HD additive in it and a lot of color. If memory serves me well, I shot it pretty hot. 320 or so. The fish liked them too. That's the best yardstick of success, IMO. Edited January 15, 2015 by Apdriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
