Fisheye48 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) I just started pouring baits so I am figuring out alto of things through trial and error. My biggest hang up right now is getting my swimbaits to be 2colors. Here is my set up please tell me where I am going wrong. I have a 4 cavity top inject mold, twin injector with blending block. I try and shoot my baits at about 330*. I'm trying to shoot black and clear and end up with it either almost all black with a little clear in the nose or all clear with a streak of black. Any help is appreciated!!! Update: I just shot my senko mold which is a side inject and they shot perfect. Could the top shot be the issue??

Popular Post Frank Posted January 22, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I could help you out on this one. In the winter time I make sure the Twinjector is warm including the block. The mold you are using should be a little warm to. Get both colors as close to 300-310 as you can. Make sure all things are in a place so when you fill the mold you won't have to wait. Remember when you hesitate the temp is dropping in the Twinjector. Fill both colors at the same time and move immediately to the block that should be on the mold. Now slowly push down the Twinjector. Slow meaning you see it move and more important you see it stop. Lift the whole unit including the block to the next hole and so on. Never push to fast on a nose pour swim bait. Most of them have a narrow gate and if you push to fast you will make it spray both colors into the mold. With a nose pour the mold will fill from the bottom up. And then at the end give it a quick push this will force out unwanted air right at the nose. And also fill out the tail. I don't know what you are using to get your temps but they need to be within 10 deg. If you want a swim bait with a nice color separation it needs to be 310 or below. Some colors can be challenging and you have one of them now. Any color with white can be a challenge too. Your senko mold is one of the easiest to get a laminate I have a few videos on you tube that show how I do it on a much bigger scale.
