  1. One last note... I originally said after 30 minutes or so I start to get these bubbles but it seems they exist from the get go. There seem to be more as time goes on though. I appreciate your help guys. One last note... I originally said after 30 minutes or so I start to get these bubbles but it seems they exist from the get go.

  2. The plastic temps I have tested were 335 and 345. I am not stirring... No glitter and no salt. Tested again tonight. This time I heated the raw plastic in the pot rather than the microwave. After about 45 minutes it was up to temp and unfortunately, I achieved the same result. Previously, I was heating in micro and pouring into a fairly cold pot and then turning it on. The bubbles are extremely small! It's not the plastic because when i heat in the microwave the baits are perfectly clear. Frustrated
  3. I work in a basement so there is a bit of humidity but I have a dehumidifier working constantly. Here is a link to the filter I have: http://www.coleparmer.com/Product/Mini_Coalescing_Air_Filter_0_3_micron_coalescing_filter_Max_49_SCFM_Max_Pressure_150_PSIG_1_4_NPT_F_connection/EW-75300-77?referred_id=5576&sku=7530077
  4. I did another test and this time I kept wiping the condensation off... Same result :-(
  5. I'm not using any salt. I have to do more testing I guess to figure out just whats happening. Thanks
  6. I have a small pressurized container that I am using to assist me in pouring baits. I am only pressurizing it with a couple lbs. of air. After about a half hour of pouring, I am getting micro bubbles. One thing I did notice is some sort of condensation is building on the inside of the lid. I have a filter that removes any water before the air passes into the regulator. I wonder if the stabilizer is causing the condensation and when it drips into the plastic it forms these bubbles. Anyone have any insight? Thanks You!
  7. I've bought some used Del-Mart molds on eBay and have been very pleased with the quality. I can't speak for the customer service.
  8. I was just curious if water based paints are a viable paint for painting hard baits? I'm toying with the idea of getting into airbrushing but I'm concerned about the troubles involved with lacquers etc. I am a stickler for quality so I really don't want to "settle" for water based application if it's considered sub par and easily identifiable vs. other options. Also, is the clear coat(s) usually applied via dipping or painting? Thank you for your help!
  9. •••SOLD••• 5 cavity 2 piece aluminum hand pour 7.25" stik mold made by Del-Mart molds. Diameter is a little bit bigger than 7/16" length is 7.25". Produces baits that are almost identical to the real senko. Retails for $150. Mold is in excellent shape with very little use. If you're interested please send email to: royalflushthanksyou@gmail.com
  10. Well that's too bad. Thanks for the reply.
  11. Does anyone know if it's possible to dye living rubber? I'd like to dye some white living rubber into black. Thanks!
  12. Does anyone make these Hula Skirts listed on eBay? Thanks
