Dbox95 Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Hello, I'm looking to get into my first soft plastic mold - mostly to create a tail I find hard to get as it's often out of stock. I'm going to order a multi-cavity mold but want to ensure I can fill it in one shot so I'm trying to determine the right number of cavities and injector size. I'll be doing a laminate, two color bait ideally. If I were to purchase the basstackle dual injector with 6 oz injectors (so 12 oz total) does anyone have a safe estimate on how many cavities I could fill in a 4" swimbait mold? Here is a link to the mold - as you can see, you can order it from a single up to 6 cavities. I'll be ordering the one injection port aluminum mold - just trying to decide how many caivities I should order... https://bugmolds.com/bestsellers/1430-34303-v719#/26-qty_of_cavities_in_1_mold-1_cav/33-mold_material-aluminum/34-injection_ports-1_for_all Any adivce would be most appreciated!

Les Young Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Send him an email or message through ebay & he'll tell you how much plastic it will take to shoot it. May take a day or two with things like they are in the ukraine but he will get back with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To estimate the volume of a mold, you can use a few methods depending on its shape and complexity. For simple geometric shapes, such as cubes or cylinders, you can apply standard volume formulas.

PrestigeWW Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 For your reference, I have the 6oz BassTackle dual injector and am able to shoot 8 cavities of the anglingai 3.8 inch rip rap mold with a little leftover. I do need to preheat my injectors a little first though so that the first shoots dont set up too quick in the injector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
