  1. You may want to heat your injector as your plastic heats. I stick mine on a hot plate.
  2. I don't have a vacuum chamber but pretty sure you use it before heating.
  3. I take it you're using a 1\2 oz mold, does a 1\16 of an ounce really make that much difference in a football head?
  4. I would suspect you should be able to freeze. They freeze most all animals before mounting.
  5. I already buy my plastics there. Most my colorants come from MF.
  6. Would be nice if you engraved your company name on molds. If I want to order additional molds or even sell them us old farts can't remember where they came from!
  7. My fluke mold does this as well. I suspect the plastic, not exactly sure how to say it, pools up trying to push into the narrow tail causing the two colors to mix. A lot of commercial baits have this issue as well. I shot at a lot of different temps and still get it to some degree.
  8. You sure it wasn't powder? Have a few bottles of really old that were powder. Not as easy to use as liquid but for solid colors such as black it worked fine. Was hard to measure.
  9. Use as a trailer on a charter bait and see what happens!
  10. I've used the do-it-yourself stand up head for soft plastics. Pour it without the hook.
  11. The flat bottom actually gives the bait more action. A round bait displaces less water.
  12. Some cheap powders don't "fluidize". I've seen this with some Harbor Freight powders.
  13. Been pouring \ shooting a long time and never heard of this issue. I don't dip tubes so biggest batch is normally a fry daddy but have never seen it.
