Jig Man Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I just got this mold yesterday. I went out and did some shoots this am. I found that I could not get the flaps to consistently fill (they looked like a spade from a deck of cards) unless I oiled them before shooting. I also had several tails not complete (never on a first shoot but quite often on subsequent shoots). I'm beginning to wonder it that mold shoots best with the plastisol quite hot. If you have one, what works best for you? .................................................. I went back and did my mid winter heat everything up method. Even with the injectors warm, the plastisol 340°, and the mold warm, I got incomplete tail shoots unless I oiled it at least every other shoot. I'd really like to find a way besides all this oil to shoot the baits. Edited March 31, 2018 by Jig Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a mold on order before he went out on medical. I finally got the mold. I emailed him about another order, but got no reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
