Worst/funniest Pouring experience?

[One Sock]

Ok what was your worst pouring experience?

Here is mine

I was out in my shop making some baits late one night, everything was really quiet. My wife had stopped in 2 or a dozen times asking when i would be done.." In a minute, in a minute" I replied, well minutes led to hours and before I knew it it was 1 a.m. I figured she was off to sleep, so i figured some two tone frogs were in order. i poured the bellies and then heated up some green for the tops and legs. Now with the frog mold I have it's imperative that the second colors are really hot to get a good thin stream so you don't clog the molds. I was just about ready to start pouring when my wife came out of the house and slammed her hands against the garage door. Well needless to say, that 4 ounces of plastic was all over me in a split second. I almost had tears in my eyes it hurt so bad. so I learned three things.

Installed auto lights for when my wife comes out

never tell your wife in a minute in a minute and drag it out for more than 5 minutes

never pour baits late at night in shorts

*optional--Keep garage door open...

I once had a neighbor call the police on me when I poured in my garage. He thought I was running a meth lab! Cops arrived and we all got a big laugh out of it. In fact, one of the officers was an avid bass fisherman........and a longtime customer ever since!

Brother in law and I were drinking some pop with foam on top one afternoon. He thought it would be funny to play a trick on my wife (who is pretty conservative). He took a couple of the pieces of plastic that you cut off after pouring (you know the part you over fill) and put them under his shirt. Then we walked in the house acting like we were drunk. I bet him $100 in front of the wife that he would not pierce his nipple. My wife was begging him not to. He took a straight pin and jabbed it in the plastic he stuck under his shirt. The look on my wife's face was priceless. I still catch crap from her on that. Saint.

im 13 so i made a mold out of a worm with rtv. so i go out to the garage find some old stuff(worms grub ect.). anyways i get some coke cans cut the top of it and kinda arage the plastics by color. so there heating up on the eye of the stove(dont pour in the kitchen). so im looking im the cabinets and find those grinders you buy at the grocery store. this one had sea salt and garlic.huh?. so i ground some up into the can of plastics.bad idea. that house smelt like burning garlic, plastic, and salt for 2 weeks. my mom so so incredibly mad at me i couldnt do anything in that kitchen for a month.

About a month or so ago, it happened fast, I threw some scrap plastic in a pan on the burner and cranked it up as I just wanted to check out a mold I had from a long time ago.

I turned my back and trimmed a few baits, I heard sizzling, turned around and the pot was in big flames, I don't remember the exact chain of events except closing my eyes really fast as the plastic was flying at my face and all over me.

I quickly wiped my forehead, actually wiped a layer of skin right off, my eyelid was stuck shut with hot plastic on my eye lashes and I had about an 1/8th of a cup on my hand.

Luckily yes believe it or not I was still lucky that A.. I closed my eye or it would have burnt my eyeball and B... I had long pants and a long sleeve shirt on. or I would have been burnt bad as the rest of it landed all over them.

I never felt a burning pain like that in my life for hours and never want to again, my fingers were burnt bad, luckily my first instinct was to swat my forhead head so the burns on my face weren't that bad at all but I lost a whole layer of skin on my fingers:eek:

I use cleaned out soda bottles to mix big batches ( The big bottles). Any way I poured till about 3am then got up a 5am to finish off this huge order I had. I grabbed the bottle on the counter and poured 8oz. Put it in the microwave and got my salt and glitter ready. Took it out dumped in the salt and glitter mixed it up,ect. I said to my self; You idiot you put to much softner in it because it was really foamy. So I thought maybe I could save it for personal baits so I through it back in the microwave for 30 seconds and started pouring my senko mold full. My wife had got up on her way to work and poured a glass of pepsi. Needless to say she set the bottle down by my pouring table and I grabbed and poured pepsi senkos. They do not harden up so I don't recomend this. Now I know this sounds far fetched, but those 2 hours of sleep were all I had in 48 hours and I just went through the motions half awake. I did the no sleep thing again a week or so later and ended up with 4 oz of hot plastic on my jeans. Luckily I had the long under wear still on or I think that would have gotten me some hospital time.

The moral of this one is get enough sleep before playing with dangerous things. 9 months later and I still have abit of a scar. Be careful out there!

Too funny guys, I'll add another recent event. Was pouring out in the shop and heard this buzzing noise coming from the table behind me. I look over and see this huge beetle trying to seduce one of my fluke baits, I try and shake it off but no luck, I bring it over to my pouring table, open the window in front of me and flick it out. Didn't think much of it, i heat up 4 ounces of plastic and get ready to pour some sticks when like a 747 hitting the side of a mountain, this beetle comes flying back into the shop and lands right in my cup. It was instant death and quite startling. The beetle is now a junebug, literally, I was making junebug sticks. The bug sits on the shelf forever preserved in plastic, hey at 2 am I thought it was hilarious
