nova Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Thomas; when you pour the first part don't go all the way to the hole. Leave about 1/4" space between th plastic and the pour hole. The angle you tilt the mold is about 30 degrees and you pour hot and slow. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printertom Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 thanks nova i ll try that an do you just trim them at 5inch instead of having a 5 1/4 Thanks Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 No. For example, look at the tail of a zoom finesse worm in baby bass color. You will see that it is not exactly half and half on colors. At the ends of the baits, it will be one color. Only the middle parts are truley half and half. I am sure I just confused you, but someone will be able to explain it a little better. Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish_N_Fool Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I think the mold design has everything to do with how well you can get 2 colors and not as much how you pour it. I make my 2 piece molds with a chamber that is the width of the mold and at least 1 1/2" high that feeds all the cavities at once. This puts more hot plastic over the baits and helps fill them and you dont have to top off the baits this way. Here is a ruff drawing of one side of the mold that shows what I mean. Then to get good bait I pour the bottom color first in an open mold. Then i close up the mold and stand it up and pour the top color very hot at about 360 deg. I get perfect baits every time this way. You do have a large plug of plastic to cut off, but I just throw it back in the cup then done to use the next time.
