GB GONE Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey Marc: We have discussed this a few times and basically to get a good swirl you have to be using an injector setup. If you do a search, you can find the full discussion on what to try. i think there was a semi-successful technique that Delw had with using a small metal rod being put into the cavity and agitating the plastic. If you get any good ones, let us know how you did it. i always thought if you poured your baits into your mold and you had the mold on your hot plate, you could swirl the plastic while it was liquid. It would be very time consuming to pour a few as you would then have to wait to "de-mold" your baits. Good luck!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Ive had a few customers that have had good success with useing a rectangular piece of metal, they first pour like you would for a laminate, makeing sure there second colors is extreamly hot, they then stick the rod down the center spin it a few times. one other way is take a varible speed drill and put a retangular piece of metal in the chuck then turn it at a slow rpm for a few mins. Granted the only way to make it really work is with a injector. Its tricky to do and no 2 look the same from what I am told. Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
