  1. What does it look like?
  2. Very interested in the mold you have and sent you a pm.  But for some reason I can't send you a regular message on the form.

  3. Do you wear a respirator when pouring plastic and or lead?  I usually don't  But, I don't pour much.

      No, but I don't pour lead anymore and I never pour more then a half gallon of plastic at a time.

      Lead actually does not stay in your body that long, it does remove itself, and in reality you get more lead from not washing your hands before you eat after using it.  More people have lead in the systems from old water pipes in big cities than from pouring lead or reloading shotgun shells.  A dirty little secret that LA, NYC, Boston don't want you to know.  When I was doing Nuke clean-up they constantly stressed the need to wash your hands.  Yes, I poured a lot of lead, and had lots of screenings due to my clean-up work, and lead was never a problem.

      As long as you don't burn your plastic, I just don't see the need.

    Do It molds for sale/trade

    Do you have any pictures of the molds?
  7. What style head and sizes?
  8. Unless you get really big, sell them. I would not advertise just go word of mouth. I don't think the IRS will come after you.
  9. I got a new mold and when I handle it my hands are turning black. I have tried to wipe them off but no luck. Any should or should not to clean them?
  10. What does a blister packaging machine cost. About what is the cost of the plastic material/shells cost?
  11. Do you not worry about the paper clip fraying your line?
  12. Thank you. That is what I am looking for.
  13. Anybody ever use the 727 chunk craw from basstackle? I am wondering about the action of the claws. I like the action of the paca chunk but having a hard time finding the same. Thanks Ryan
  14. I use a plumber's torch. It only takes 3-10 seconds per jig or spinnerbait. Depending on the weight of the bait. Just play around with it and you will know soon how the paint goes on.
  15. Not to hijack this thread, but with the mini shooting star do you just dip in your hand injector and shoot your molds? How many baits can you make on average with a 6 oz injector?
  16. Thank you and yes I am using an aluminum mold.
  17. After I am done pouring and my plastic is cooled my baits stick together. I am assuming that I need to use a worm oil? When and how much? Thank you.

    Sounds like I need to become a machinist. Seems like there is good money in it, better than bait making.
