Stratos285proxl Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Quick question for you fellas. When injecting laminates and there’s bleed through what is the cause of that? My temperatures are within 5 degrees and I tried shooting them at 320, 312ish, and 300 degrees and getting basically the same results. The bleed through is also on the bottom side of the mold. The top side laminates perfectly at all the above temps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpssports Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Try shooting slow & steady. Shooting too fast will cause them to bleed over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratos285proxl Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 It's happening on the bottom side of the mold. Shooting two one cavity molds and does the same in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 is it on the bottom when you swap the colors? My guess is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratos285proxl Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Yea, it's on the bottom and same place on both molds and when I swap colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what a red swamp crawdad looks like. The mottled effect will be killer! I wish I could do it, but I'm too cheap to buy a double injector and laminating block. So I pour the bellies first with the orange, and then inject the green pumpkin over it to get the top and claws. As long as I shoot the gp at 330, the two bond well enough to not delaminate.

Les Young Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Mark, i like that idea. No doubt that would be a great color in the clear highland lakes around here for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratos285proxl Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Gave it another go. Not putting as much pressure on the injector seems to be the trick for this mold. Decided to do the color that Mr. Mark mentioned and I must say. I like! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should quit trying to make orange from red and yellow, and just order a bottle of orange! Did I ever tell you I'm cheap?
