BigZ Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Sounds like your plastic is not hot enough to fill the extremities of the mold. If, as you say when you pour directly in the thin parts it comes out too thick, not enough heat would definitely be indicated. You might also want to wedge something under the mold so that the plastic runs from the thin parts to the thick parts. Hope this helps.

harley-cowboy Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 BIG Z is right. I'd heat more first. BUT if the worms you remelted have a lot of salt in them, it is difficult to pour in small, thin areas. Try some new raw plastic and try again. Make sure you have the temp around 350 degrees. GO SLOW when pouring with a steady THIN stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico.29 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 i've had the same problem when pouring thin part with old lures, to me it's not a question of t? but it's due to kind of plastic, raw plastic shoud be more liquid when heating.
