Flymantex Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hey everybody - I'm new to the site and new to making my own soft plastic baits. I searched through the dos and don'ts section but didn't see anything I needed (good info in there, just not to my issue). I ordered a Do-It mold for some 1.1" and 1.35" bluegill baits. The bottom section had a whole bunch of extra plastic while the top section baits came out great. Not sure why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canga~ Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Need to clamp the mold a little tighter and mal sure there is nothing preventing the mold from closing all the way 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driftwood Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 If you are using a small clamp, put one on both the top and bottom of the mold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) I usually clamp on all 4 corners. I’ve got some molds that seem easier to get flashing on than others so I clamp all 4 corners & then put one on each side of the injection port. I use the plastic spring clamps from Walmart so it only takes a few seconds to apply them anyway so no big deal.
