Henegar Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 What do you guys think the best way is, I do it in the microwave wave right now but I'm getting a few orders for two colors and it's just hard to keep the consistency in the heat , also with the pour pots do you pour straight from the pot into the mold by a lever or how, I can't find any videos on using these pots. Thanks guys for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitjunkys Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Some presto pots have valves that you can pour directly from just as hand pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys for the help. I think maybe some guys modified their presto pots and drilled and tapped them. Then bought a valve to put on it. Seems they had some problems keeping those valves hot enough for the plastisol to stay in liquid state. Jbob's on the money here but lots of opinions abound. I'll grab my popcorn.

If done correctly, no issues keeping nozzle hot enough. It has been explained on here many times as on other sites. I know we explained it bou'cou' on Bears forum. I mysef' helped many to build their own pot or pots. If your gona do hand pour, or open pour molds, the pot with valve is definatly the easiest and best method I have found. Of corse all my rtv molds I put alum on bottom, which allows you to manipulate the mold under the valve for easy pouring of a small stream of hot plastic. It was not that many years ago when Bear started offering Hand Injection, so pouring was the most used method. I still don't inject, only pour from presto pots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yep what Kajan said if you tap close enough to the element you can achieve good results, I made mine with his recommendations and it works like a charm, although I have gone to the dark side by injecting now.

Baitjunkys Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 im still using the micro. presto pots take a lot of stirring to keep from scorching.imo that is really not accurate. I have walked away for 30 minutes without scorching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajan Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 IPT , dat is why you put a motorized stirring system. When I did my first lures in 87, that was the issue, stirring and keeping plastic from scorching.
