LC 3" Tube Mold - Need Help Please.

Good evening guys,

Does anyone use the LC 3" tube mold. I'm having some trouble with large air bubbles forming toward the top of the mold or in the skirt area. I get a good tube only 40-50% of the time.

Thanks in advance.

Go Giants!

Woody

I get the same problem, I find that if I get a hot thin stream and pour it along the side of the metal rod then I get a better % of good tubes But I've haven't mastered it yet. Good luck I hope this helps, let us know if it does.

Thanks for the help. I tried it again tonight and had much better results. Hot plastic, thin stream and quick pouring seemed to be the key.
