Usually only a couple of minutes then immediately into a pan of water to cool.

It does but Munkin has looked as several and hasn't been able to be sure so I just switched to Gammys.

Any of you guys have a mold.

Best Fishing Reel Under 200
Jig Man replied to CharlesMoss1992's topic in Rod & Reel building & repair
There are lots on the market. My preference is Shimano. If you have a retail store nearby you should check them out and see what you like. -
I’ve had limited success with RTV silicone.
-
Have you tried calling them?

You are not wrong. He passed a few years ago. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge.

Dirty jigs guppy head jig. https://dirtyjigstackle.com/products/matt-stefan-guppy-head 7147 BN , 9147 BN or something else?

Have you considered drilling holes, threading them and adding screws?
-
If you over heat and burn it you will definitely know it. It will smoke and stink.

Small scale alternatives to the microwave
Jig Man replied to Hand Crafted Angling's topic in Soft Plastics
A single element hot plate and some pans will work. I did that for years. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Single-Burner-120V-1100W-Portable-Easy-to-Cook-Elegant-Classic-Design/488054826?athbdg=L1102&from=/search -
Thanks folks. I have some of the ones you mentioned and have modified others. I’m wanting something close to the one I posted for a really picky guy who currently uses it exclusively.

Got a link since I’m drawing a blank on this?

I have a mold with the wire keepers. It is not Keitech friendly, even with super glue on the head. The dirty jig holds the best.
-
That’s something to think about. Thanks.
-
I want something like the dirty jigs guppy mold to hold those fragile Keitech swim baits. I haven’t been able to find any thing. Is there anything out there? https://dirtyjigstackle.com/products/matt-stefan-guppy-head

Your site stops when payment is selected. A get shipping rates comes up in red but doesn’t respond. I can’t find rates or get past that screen.
-
I have tried to order one from you but have had no success.
-
I couldn’t wait. I used it yesterday making 1/8 oz swim bait heads with a 1/0 hook. I’m leaving it in until my 2/0 and 3/0 hooks get here from Barlow’s. This is how my 1/8 oz heads turned out. I couldn’t find keepers so I made them from 20 gauge wire.
-
The air dry doesn’t work. It crumbles and falls out. High temp red has always been extremely hard for me to remove. I only use it for permanent mods.
-
Do I need to let it air cure?
-
Mark I have a mold that has been modified to the point that I have to use a magnetic strip to hold the hooks on some cavities. So far nothing has happened to it.
-
Almost but a bit over 100 miles.
-
I also run my melter pretty hot with the hard lead.
-
That’s something that I had not considered. Thanks
