Need Some Help

Recommended Posts

Saw these on facebook from a guy. In NO way am I trying to copy and sell them; just would like to make a few for myself. I tried putting glitter in the mold before injecting however im not sure that's how he did this.   I love how abundant the glitter is in the claws.

I am a hobby pourer, so this is just a home made method, not how to do production, by any means.

I do laminates by pouring my "accent" colored plastic first by hand with a pinched Norpro silicone cup, and then injecting my main color.  As long as the main color is 330+- it melts itself into the accent, and it's seamless.  The hot plastic will flow around any drips from the hand pour, and incorporate them, too.

If I were trying to get the effect in the picture, I'd probably do some drops of heavily flaked accent colors where I wanted them to wind up, and then shoot my main color.

I might also play around with placing the glitter into my mold where I wanted it first, using a small artists brush.  The spray PAM I use would hold it long enough to let me close the mold and shoot my main color.

It looks like whoever made those baits used really big (.040) glitter, too, and that would help.
