one-off baits Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'e gotten a handle on how to build the cup. I'l be using an aluminum road sign I have. I'm still trying to find a divider material that I'll be more "comfortable" using in the microwave. Considering some of MF's rigid silicone and pouring out a thin slab. Anyways, The issue I haven't been able to find is which kind of JB WELD is needed? There are several kinds and none were specified in the topics I read even though the question was asked by someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I made mine several years ago with the regular 2 part JB (black and gray). I don't put mine in the microwave. I heat 2 colors then pour them into the divided cup which I keep warm on a hot plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-off baits Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'e been considering a hot plate. What temp would you set the empty pyrex at? I don't want to break or over heat it. Also, after you make your 2 color pour what is your next steps as far as reheats go? Do you try to pour the colors back into the microwaved containers for the reheat?

I have to let it set up before I can take it out of the cup. I try to not over fill but that takes some time to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Master Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I made and posted the first Divided Cup here at TackleUnderground. Still have it and it still works. I used the Original Cold-Weld Formula J-B Weld. Jig Man answers are good. Most of the heating and reheating is done in each colors own cup. I will add hot plastic to my divided cup, mixing the hot with the cooler plastic. I will blast the divided cup in the microwave for about 30 seconds if needed. You just need to find a system that works best for you. Have fun. Just make sure your aluminum is not shiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
