I don't stir my plastic, when I'm heating it for the first time, until it's at 350, even when I've already added salt or blasting media.   Then I stir in my glitter, and my color.

Maybe you're getting air into your plastic while it's heating initially because you're stirring it too much.

 

Thanks mark, Will try this approach tonight. Cheers.

Decide to call Do it Molds directly today to get the low down on this mold, apparently those imperfections are part of the design looks kinda shotty in my opinion not to sure how customers/friends will think of it but we'll give it a shot! I already know it catches bass due to my second cast being a solid 3lber.

Part of the design, More like a answer to a problem they cant solve...  Hotter plastic will let air out easier, But at the same time dent easier. Trade offs...

Believe me i'm with you on the first part of your comment, i may attempt on meticulously sanding it down to get a smoother finish and see what happens. I'm not trying to bad mouth anybody as i'm new to the forum and the world of pouring baits but i don't understand how a product like that leaves the door of a manufacturer. Ohwell i'll have to call it my Dimple Craw! 

 

Hopefully "The Ripper" Mold has flawless.. if not i'll be returning it and going to Baitjunkys for some Molds!

I read this and wonder if people realize that there are a lot of variables here and no one can solve all the problems. And no one makes every mold that shoots the same. If I buy a lower cost mold I expect a lower quality product from it. You get what you pay for but sometimes you pay to much for what you get. Just because some one talks like they can make a perfect mold does not mean it will be. You are new to this hobby and it will take a little time to get use to it. Also no one makes Every mold and sometimes you have to get one from a supplier that may not have good marks but if you have to have it then you settle. As time goes on you will get favorites and will refrane from making poor decisions lie that again. Anything can catch fish but you have to catch the fisherman first.

I know you do but you can't control all the variables. A new guy starts without knowing the temp of his plastic and it dent then he post it on this board. Everyone always says it the venting or bad mold design when all the time it was overheated plastic. Where's the backing up then? Learning how to shoot a mold is a key to success. At least doing this type of work. Telling someone how to do it is still out of your control cause you can't be there to hold there hand. Anyone who sells molds will keep on selling due to lack of options out there.
