Bowldsie Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I have been running this mold for a little over a month now, and it's been fine, but now I keep getting small chunks off my baits when I pour. (Looks like a fish nibbled on it). I'm using the 8 inch C-tail worm from Do-It. I can't figure out the problem and it has me baffled. I'm doing everything the same as I always have. Plastic is the right temp, oiled the injector, holding pressure, backfilling injector hole. Mold getting to hot maybe? Note: it changes, between cavaties. One one time, a different the other. Now I'm only getting one complete worm per pour. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Can you post a picture of the lure and the mold. Sounds weird, so anything to give the guys on the site a clue will help. PS, my experience with mold getting too hot means I get bubbles, but not nibbles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowldsie Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Notice next the the butter knife it's kinda of hard to see. It's like a chunk of bait missing. It's completely random throughout the mold. I've just shot some with a room temp mold and it's still doing it. I've cleaned the mold. Still doing it.

Bowldsie Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 This isn't the mold from do it. It's a 8 inch c tail. Not cheap either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 You mentioned the right temperature, what is the number? lLooks like its to hot and denting. Try lowering the temp a lot , like 300-310. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhains Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 I second what Frank said. Your plastic is too hot. As it cools it dents. If your checking temps, try shooting cooler plastic in 3-5 degree increments until you get good baits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
