nova Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 interesting...so would you use equal amounts of plastic for your swirled baits then? Each cup will be slightly differant because they are handmade. You have to play around with the amounts of plastic as you want all 3 chambers to pour at the same time.

Bassinjunkie88 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Glad this posting happened. I've been wanting to learn this as well. I want to get the 2 color swirl and then try the 3 color later. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixon529 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Basically there are 2 postions to use when you are pouring with the divided cups.(doesn't matter if it is 2 chambers or 3)If you pour from the lowest point(closest to the sprue hole) you will get a fairly nice laminate bait. If you pour from a little higher position you get the swirls. It takes a little practice. Temprature also comes into play. Nova - I haven't done this before and I'm getting ready to start experimenting... In your experience would you say its better to pour at a slightly cooler temp for better "swirling" effect and less "mixing/blending" of colors? Thanks.

Rick Rick; I use the same heat as all the plastic I pour. I don't spend any time on what the temp is (I don't even have a thermometer). After 20 + years I just eyeball it. I heat the plastic in the divided cup all at the same time. I find that the further away you are from the hole in the spru the more of a swirl you will get; The closer you are the more of a laminate you will get. Cooler will give you a swirl as well but I find that I only get2 or 3 sticks and then I get voids in the stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinjunkie88 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I just bought the JB Weld and tin flashing, so hopefully I can work on this tonight and let it dry for a couple days. Does anyone else have pics of their swirls to share? I will share mine whenever I get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckMaxx Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Obviously you cant microwave the pourer can someone explain how you go about heating and reheating the plastic? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetickhound Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 The micro will not react to the metal as long as the very top edges are not shiny and there is no metal edges showing through the glass. This should hopefully answer the previous poster's concern... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
