rynesgto Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) I have a Tube injection mold from A.I. Say for instance, I want to do an orange inside, and green pumpkin outside color. Can I just inject the orange? Keep them on the rods and just dip in the green pumpkin? do I need the 2nd color to be hotter than normal? I tried this once before about a year ago and the outer color never stuck to the injected color. Any help would be appreciated.

Bass-Boys Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 should work , yes have the dipping color hot and try to do it when the tube you shoot is still warm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
School Master Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I've been working on a "HD series" and that's basically how I do it. I shoot a laminate tube and just dip the tails before cutting. Mine dipping plastic is maybe a little hotter than usual and I don't have any issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 We always dipped the orange and then the green pumpkin right after. Never tried the injected tubes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRum Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 You could try shooting the first color and then take the tube out of the mold, keep it on the rod and dip the part that you want the second color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is the couple times I tried it in the past, the second (outer color) didnt stick to the first color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRum Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Not sure why. It should be sticking regardless of the temp of the existing tube. The only way it wouldn’t stick is if the plastic isn’t hot enough. It would be lumpy though so you’d know. Try it again and possibly use a softener for the outer layer and one dip so you don’t get a thick variance on the tube diameter. It’s all about tubage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynesgto Posted October 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 now that I think about it, the times I tried I was shooting the tube with one brand of plastic, and dipping it in a different brand. I'm guessing that was the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 If your plastic for the second color to hot you may have to dip the third time because the second color will go on thin. I also have had to dip the third time when dipping several different colors over a decently bright orange tube because the orange would show trough faintly. It however wasn't a problem as long as the outer color was warm enough to go on thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Don't need one, Dip half the tube first then place them back in the mold and inject a lighter color to give it the laminate look. The lighter colors seals both colors eliminating pealing layers. *Just a tip. JGZee1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
