mtcald10 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I am pretty new to hard core worm pouring but over the last six monthes I have been experimenting with making the two color laminate worms in single sided molds. My question is when is the right time to pour the second laminate? I was wondering what the experts used as thier rule of thumb on this to keep the worms from bleeding colors or having a week lamination. Thanks for all the wonderful help I've already gotten from this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorTom Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I let my first pour completely set up before pouring the second color. Just make sure the second color is really hot when you pour to get good bonding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 It all depends on the effect you want to create. If you want a defined line between the 2 colors then let the first pour set just a little. If you want to "blend" the 2 colors pour right away. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Blending is the lazy man's way out.......which is why I do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Same here Chris; but I do like the effect with certain colors. Also, if you have the right temps the second pour will split down the middle which I like. These are some of the things that injectors can't do. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Good point Nil. Nothing really compares to a split vein look. When I first started pouring, I actually thought the "stripes" were made with 2 pours. I just couldn't figure out how it was done. Then one day it was like......"so THAT'S how they do it!", and it's never been the same since. And speaking of laminates......I was looking at some of my first laminates the other day. I could actually pull the 2 layers apart. For those starting out with laminates, this is something you definitely DON'T want. There is a fine line between immediately pouring your second layer and waiting too long. Just my Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I hear you Chris. I've had some really good looking lams come apart while I was fishing them. Really ticked me off. After trial and error I figured it out. I was just glad that I hadn't sold any of them. Some customers have very long memories and are usually very verbal. I guess you're only as good as your last sale. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Years ago I poured hundreds of three color split tail grubs,when I noticed the first few came apart,I set them out on a cookie sheet and placed them in the oven for a few minutes,till they took on a shine.Never had one seperate.Made a great looking lure.
