saratovfishing Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi, We have our own factory for the production of molds for casting silicone. Forms are made of artificial stone. We have a lot of customers in Russia. We already have customers from Germany, Italy. We would like to know, will our form be popular with you? example of our forms: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole's Customs Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I would say so. Usually stone molds don't come out shiny, but are cheaper. I feel like if anyone is in it for a hobby and not to sell these molds (depending on price) might be an option for them and their personal use.

saratovfishing Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 our customers are satisfied, we produce for centrifugal casting and the usual forms, the quality of the bait is not worse than the aluminum form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I often shake my head when I see centrifugal molding for soft baits and the numbers of people that think its the next big thing. The large volume producers don't use it for a reason. 1- you don't get an even distribution of flake (as evidenced in the above video at the end with all the flake bunched up at the tail). 2- for the same reasons as 1 you can't run salt or any other weight additive as it will get pushed to the out side edge of the mold. 3- There is no way to consistently produce laminates. 4- Time, in the same amount of time it took to load the mold in the centrifuge, pour the baits and then cool and open the mold, I and several others I know could have shot 3 times as many baits by hand, all while being able to produce laminates, use higher loads of glitter and added salt or other additives if needed. No, in artificial stone you don't get the same finish, unless you lubricate the molds the baits tend to stick in the molds and they don't handle the heat anywhere near as good as aluminum.

Saugerman Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I agree with DaveMC1, I believe I can make more baits, in less time, and make a better looking bait , using the cnc injection molds. Just by watching what all there is to getting the centrifugal molds ready, seems very time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elf Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) I sell my baits and I prefer to sell baits that have a nice finish on them and I'm pretty sure my customers prefer to buy baits with a nice finish. That's why I don't buy Do-It ES molds or stone molds. *Edit* I bought one ES mold and put the kibosh on that as soon as I saw the finish.

I can shoot a video that turns out and the bait already look more beautiful. I do not want to argue with you, for a working day it is from 9 am to 5 pm, I alone can otgotovit 500 pieces of baits. This is when we use multiple colors. The main thing in the work is a person's imagination and readiness to make unusual bait. 500 in an 8 hr day? I'd definitely not be able to make a living at that. Like I said, with similar cavity counts there are some of us that can shoot 5-10 times that in a day. Hell I have a couple baits that I can produce 1000 - 1600 per hour, AND i can shoot a real laminate and get even glitter/salt distribution.
