Mudd Butt Baits Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Here is the finished worm, I found that I have to keep the temp a little higher with the bubbles in the plastic. I also have to put down pressure on the injectoer after the cavity fills, about 5 seconds in enough, The yellow turned out nice, but it picks up dirt really easy. I will add glitter the next time round. The worm still has good action and it still plenty strong. I bought a $40 Presto fry daddy, I think that is what it is called. It has the heat dial and is almost the right size for pouring 40-150 baits at a time. I put the lid on to get the plastic up to temp and in bewtween pouring, I did put the bubbles in before heating and that was alot better due to the hot air did not carry the bubbles up and every where. I then put a 2x4 under the back legs to tip it so I could draw the plastic out. Beats paying a few hundo for one that says it is for fishing baits. If you want any of these just let me know.

Kajan Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 You need to realize, you need a stir system on that pot or at least stir by hand. I personally would never stir by hand LOL but to each der own. You risk burning/scorching your plastic not stirring it. Good luck, lure looks nice.

Mudd Butt Baits Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I stir a lot, by hand. I know, it sucks, but I am just getting into this and I jusp in with two feet everytime with things and trying to find out if this is something I want to do. I am sure it is, do the exspensive pots have a auto stir option? What about the Presto wax pots? They have a spout on the bottom that I could suck from?

Kajan Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 All the wax pots I have seen have a valve out the front. This does not work well with plastisol. You want your valve on the bottom close to the heating element. If you have the tools, is not hard to build. Some people don't have the tools or don't want to go thru trouble, then you can buy one. The one Bear sells works great. Remember, once you use one of Bears pots with a stir system, I doubt you will ever wanna stir by hand again LOL.
