Gorris Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hey every! I'm new here. Tried to pour baits a few years ago and it didn't go very well. Got a couple batches of senkos using the Do-it kit. Well I'm going to try again and was wondering what plastic I should use? I will be making creature baits (Pitboss knock off) and will only be doing one cavity at a time. I think the single cavity will make it easier on me and also cut down on the problems I had. The senko mold was a 5 cavity and I got a lot of air bubbles in the baits or the plastic would cool before the final cavities were filled. So out of single pour I might get 1-2 baits out of the 5 cavities. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dink Mendez Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I've been using MF super soft for 20 years for hand POUR and last 8 years injection. However I've been testing some Dead on Plastic Floating worm and finesse PLASTIC , pretty nice stuff. It has more good quality's then Mf. IMO Purchase a sample pack. You won't be disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-Boys Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 make sure you do not suck air into the injector when filling it . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Either that was your problem or the mold you had trouble with needed more venting. Injection molds are super easy to use, but they're not all perfect either. You very well could have had a bad mold. I wouldn't let that stop me whatsoever if i wanted to buy multi cavity molds when so many here are willing to help you get started out the right way. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a bunch of videos and it looked easy enough. Will have to try it again and make sure I'm not getting air in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRum Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Bait Plastics is solid and there’s several formulas to choose from. Definitely pre heat your mold and don’t get air in the injector. Make sure your plastic is hot enough and sets up all the way or it’s not gonna shoot right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
