That looks like the Do-It I-Craw http://store.do-itmolds.com/iCraw-35--1-cavity_p_1258.html

I like that color! I am sure it will catch some fish! -
I would say Aluminum would be best as it can withstand high heat of liquid plastic better.

The color change may be coming from your glitter. After it's been in the liquid plastic for a bit the color may be bleeding. If you do a test batch without glitter do you get the color change after several shots still?

Those turned out real nice. I plan to start making jigs like that soon. I already pour lead and plastics so this is the next step.

I've got a bunch of the desiccant packs that I can ship ya. I get them with my medicine and have a good hand full.

Medium plastic is all I buy. I keep a bottle of softener and hardener on hand in case I want a little different action to the plastic. most of my crappie baits get a little softener and everything else I've done so far has been just straight medium.

no problem. Yea I like to microwave the plastic so I can monitor it and stir it well to make sure it all gets to the turnover point and make sure my color is right in the clear pyrex before I dump it in the dark pot.

Get some heat stabilizer. It does not take much for 4-8 oz of plastic. A teaspoon or less is what I use. It will allow you to reheat more. The pots are handy to keep plastic workable. I bought one from Amazon for $20 and get my plastic to the turnover point in the microwave then I pour it into the pre-warmed pot around 325 and shoot. I stir before each pull into the injector to make sure my glitter is mixed good.

Jim is right on so many levels. Plan to have extra juice for the workshop area since you will be melting plastics, lead pots, etc. 6-8 outlets on 3 breakers would be where I would want to be if I was building a shop maybe more with several good exhaust fans.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any mold makers offering Black Friday deals? I know Enforcer is offering 15% off from 11/24 to 12/1 with code EBM241

Maybe use a blue pearl powder?

I am looking to sell my Sea Eagle SE9 inflatable boat. I bought it this summer and have not even had it on the water yet. I got it out of the package to inflate it and check it out and never got a chance to use it. My Dad is giving me his boat this fall so I figured I would sell this one. I am willing to sell the boat with all it comes with from the factory for $350 which is over $100 off the new price. I can also throw in a 50lb thrust tolling motor, new battery, battery box and anchor for a extra $150. I am willing to meet with 100 miles or so of Louisville, KY on a weekend. I can meet during the week if its closer.PM for photos as I do not have them loaded to this PC but can send from my phone later.

I'm looking for a couple of the basstackle cricket molds if anyone has some they are not using? I have some molds for trade or can purchase.

I wonder if you can take the UV additive for the plastic's and mix a little in your paint?
