Thanks. I take the bar off my dual injector that connects the two injectors. Then just alternate pushing each one down till the molds full.

I wasn't able to get that effect.  I think it's because my molds are injection molds, with offset sprues.

My brush hog mold has one cavity on each side of the spru. Single cavities work good.  I've done it on 4 cavity molds but ya have to use a old piece of spru to block some cavities.

I'll be happy if my second color even fills the mold.  I usually struggle with trying to get past colder plastic once it begins to cool in the mold.

Do you heat your mold?

No heat. I start with a cold mold. It goes pretty easy.

One more thing you usually have to make the outside color quite a bit darker than normal because it's just a skin coat and the inside color  will come through

Wow, that' terrific!

What temps were your plastics?  

Did you do one cavity at a time?

So many questions, so little time!  Hahaha

Don't know the exact temps but I like the color I'm pouring a little thicker so it doesn't just run into the cavities. I do this with a two cavity. It has one cavity on each side of the spru.

Those are beautiful baits!

Do you mean the injected chartreuse pushed past the hand poured GP and gets to the bottom of the mold?

You are correct Mark

Beautiful work.

Is this done with a hand pour mold, and allowing the yellow to cool a little before pouring the olive?

It's a injection mold. I pour the green pumpkin into the spru hole and inject the chartreuse.

If this bi-polar Illinois weather ever decides what it wants to do I'll be able to try it. I think it should work well especially after the bass spawn.

Just poured the green pumpkin into the spru hole(Amount varies by mold). I immediately inject the orange. The green pumpkin is transparent enough to give it that brown on the body with the orange underneath.

I also turned the blending block about 45° from perpendicular with the mold seemed to work better

Using a twinjector I took the bar off that connects the two plungers and in small amounts alternated from one plunger to the other. It took doing it a couple times to get it right.

Thanks BL. I was just winging it and it came out cool. All about being different.
