  1. +1 on this You will get lead poisoning by not washing you hands. don't eat drink or smoke while working with lead. wash your hands before you put anything in your mouth.
  2. then that is probably part of my problem, i am using too much re-melt. when we mix more
  3. i get my plastic from color tech, med soft. I am using an shooting star melting pot at 280F. On Pearl, and bubble gum the plastic gets darker as I pour. If I go lower than 280 then it doesn't' pour well at all. would stabilizer help? in the pic the pearl on the right side looks good, on the left it is getting darker. Thanks
  4. i have some if you interested. I don't think I will need them anymore. i would sell a few or all. 660-547-2874
  5. I found the vid Making spru extender I made some, didn't have the correct sockets but I used a small press I have. we haven't tried them yet
  6. Thanks! i will look into that
  7. where can you get these? i am having trouble with voids or air pockets in the bait i am injecting. this shows how the plastic goes in the mold. several videos show and or recommend these extensions, so i was wondering where to get them.
  8. that's gonna be hard to do.
  9. ok thanks, that makes sense.
  10. so a thermocouple with a probe? or a surface mount like this https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_3&products_id=273
  11. hey thanks!, that helps. I will do the PID, i haven't decided how to mount the thermal coupler. I guess I could take the thermostat apart on the presto and see if I can see some wires to connect to the thermocouple post on the PID.
  12. do these do a good job of keeping the plastic from burning?
  13. is there a 3rd option for a melter?
  14. i am looking for something to keep the plastic stirred, temp controlled. the air pressure looks good too. I have looked at the shooting star, i have looked at hotrunner machines. is there any others similar? is there any plans on building one, like heaters, stirrers etc...? thanks
  15. I push it in with a putty knife, and that seems to help keep it in
  16. well no, it does not get hard or cure at all. when you're done, just pull it out of the mold and if you're careful you can probably use it again. I never do because I have plenty more. the way we cure it is in a vulcanizing frame that puts 3000 lbs of pressure and 350F degrees for 90 minuets and then the rubber/mold is hard and then it is used for making lead heads.
  17. you're almost close enough to drive to my place, I'm north of Warsaw 5 miles
  18. this is silicone used for spincasting molds
  19. i have some uncured silicone that would work. It is like play dough, ii send you some if you want to pay the shipping.
