    I have the dual & a single 6 ouncer from basstackle.. I have taken it apart to use in combination with the single 6 ouncer to shoot 18 ounces at a time when wanted. You can make a bunch of baits in a hurry like this. What brand is your 4 ouncer?

    I always demold in 3 minutes. It was a little different at first since i'd been using calhouns & lureworks but after getting use to it i really like it & is all i'm using now. It seemed a little oily to me at first but cured up excellemt in my opinion. I'm getting ready to order 5 gallons now.

    Baitplastics is some good stuff.

    I'd say the medium/ hard would work well. I use medium & add hard at a 50-50 mix to make tubes & it gives them what i consider the perfect firmness & still not to tough & the tails have good action. The medium/hard should be some good stuff i'd think.

    Bill i've only used the 212. You could call them & they'll answer any questions you have. I've only used the medium 212 & the hard & like them both a lot.

    OIR nice job as usual like everything else you post.

    Just be very careful pouring it in so you don't get burnt. Sucking it up & turning the injector over on an angle & purging the air out of the injector is very easy to do so that's what i do each time & it works great.

    I'd oil it about every 3 to 4 shots. I do mine as soon as i start to feel it tighten up & it's still on the original o rings after years of heavy use. I use worm oil on mine but some use pam cooking spray.

    I inject that mold at a decent speed & hold pressure for about 5 seconds, top of sprue & wait 3 minutes to demold then throw in water. The only time i've had denting with it was when i got the temp a little to hot.

    Looks like a heavy dose of micro gold flake in an orange base for the bottom & what tiderunner said on top. Could also be orange with some red colorant added too sort of a tomatoish color.

    I use medium plastic 99% of the time but when i make tubes i add some hard to the medium. Usually shoot in 4 ounce batches so i do 2 ounces medium to two ounces hard & it makes great tubes. I'm thinking my baby shad style baits i may try a hard body & medium tail to see if i like the way they hold up. If not back to full medium. Why not get some soft plastic & add medium or hard to it if they're to soft to suit you & you don't have to add hardner?

    They say the injector that jacobs mold & machine is a good one too.
  14. Les Young
    That's temperature related. You have to shoot it pretty quick or any plastisol will set up in the injector.

    Yep i have to let my aluminum cnc molds cool when i get on a roll & make a bunch of baits in a hurry. I have put half of another mold on each side of the mold i was injecting. If injecting several i will put a half on each side of them all & clamp down tight. It's enough of a heat sync that i haven't had any problems like this.
  16. Les Young
    What about a piece of aluminum or board or something like that on each side of the mold tightened down in a vise?

    Message the maker you got it from & ask what size orings they use in it.

    I had one made by authentic hand made from The Ukraine & it was bad to expand & contract when using. I made notches in the tip to be able to remove it with a screw driver & asked him what size Orings he used & then replaced them with a better grade Oring & it worked fine as long as you oiled it about every shot which was way to aggravating for me so i ended up selling it to another member after doing some trading with Frank on here for a basstackle dual injector. As long as i'm making plastics it will be basstackle injectors for me.

    I know folks do put mica powder on some plastics & then clear coat them with clear plastisol. I'd try one to see but if it works & you do remelt you know you'll completely change the original color. That is if the air brush paint is capable of being melted down.

    Don't feel bad Al i see a light greyish smoke color & absolutely no sign of a tan.

    Great info. I've been wanting to get a printer & make my own molds but haven't yet. You gave some very good info for sure. Please come back & share more info & pics of your results. Thanks
