walleye warrior Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 What is the opinion on the beat way to clamp or hold mutiple molds while injecting. I have used the screws that came with the molds and that is really inefficient. Ive used clamps and i still get plastic blowing out the sides. I have thought of modifying a vise. I am mostly shooting 4 molds at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I shoot multiple molds and what I do is turn my molds so the injection ports are down on my bench. Then take two 6" C clamps and clamp them together. If my 6" clamp is too small, I grab the 8" ones. Once clamped, turn them over. Now all your injection ports are in plane at the top and easily accessed with your injector. The C clamps will leave a small mark but nothing an orbital sander won't cure if you decide to sell one. I've bought a bunch of used molds with orbital sander marks. It's just what guys do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
