BigBaitB Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Has anyone ever made a 2 piece open pour mold? I want to make a mold for line through swim baits but I don't have an injector and I like pouring laminates. Anyways I'm just looking to see if anyone has advice or experience to share on doing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chance_Taker4 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I use the two piece top pour molds from Lurecraft. I can say that the biggest thing is to make sure you pour SLOW. If you pour fast air will trap in it and the baits wont come out right. Also I like warming my plastic up a little more and make it really liquid to pour easier.

I go back over the last layer while it's still hot and top it off, so there's less of a dent on the back. If the last bit of plastic doesn't blend in completely because it's cooled a little, I hit it with heat gun to remelt it and smooth it out.
