220-240 seems pretty course for final sand to me ??
-
Travis,, Is that picture really from 2006?

After your mold is done, you will be able to make plenty more .
-
Electric Mixer for making cakes and such ! ? Just redesign the beaters . if needed. Use on lowest speed that will mix the plastic.
-
If you tug on the tails just shortly after unmolding you should know rite away if you have a good bond. That has worked for me anyway.
-
I think he wants to know what size -- ROD -- you used in the mold for the core shot ??
-
How are you heating plastic now ? More molds also lets some cool while you fill others.
-
To save money -- Yes that's why we all do it .. But it never happens !!! The price of a half dozen molds and supplies could buy a lot of baits !! We love it , that's why !
-
The stick bait mold would center the rod on its own way better than a swim bait mold ( without slots for the rod ). I feel a core shot swim bait mold would be way more cool than a stick bait with core shot .

I like a rounder body to skip. my self .. Stick bait ,, Ika ,, ect , no matter how it hits the water ( not flat side down or flat side on end ) the round stick bait type body will always skip nice , as long as its thrown tite across the surface of the water .

For me, I like to get the 2nd color to 350 degrees or a little higher .

The bond should be a temp thing . What plastic , can not answer.
-
agreed .
-
what plastic ...... well lets just say,,,, it's best to buy 5 gallon pails or larger containers .
-
You must buy" all" items in bigger bulk containers to help with lowering your cost . $48.00 per gallon is costly for just this 1 item .
-
"True" profit - after "all" cost are figured,, supplies ( yes figure in "all" supplies ) , labor,, electricity, gas to post office ,, ect. Is very hard to come by in this hobby.

What I have done. Cut a long pc of card board ,( how ever wide your thin area of tail is 1/2" or so ) and tape it to the edge of table ,this raises the edge of the table up the thickness of the card board .
-
Lay on the edge of the table with tail hanging just off the edge.
-
That is tough on the eyes , Green pumpkin base .035 blue and gold .015 gold, red , purple , Just a guess my eyes are getting old !
-
Hand pour the dark line in one half of the mold then close and shoot the other color . Works well with some molds.
