Re: Custom molds

Oh, and you do not need to turn another master if you can sketch the basic dimensions of the bait.

Re: Custom molds

Riplip,
WOW there may be a misunderstanding or we are on the wrong page and I appologize.
Remember we were waiting for them as one customer I had made the snake for to get back with me if his mold poured ok as his mold had pretty much the same curve's as your. And I left a msg with him on tuesday to call me and he hasn't yet. you had the boomerang shaped one with the curl tails on it. Thats the one you wanted right away and held off on the other 2.

Making the mold you want isnt the problem thats the easy part. Making it pour is the problem. If I make it exactly like you want it and it doesnt work than I get crap for it, Thats why I am trying to give you the best guess I can. if I make the mold and it doesnt work you still get charged for it and your pissed. if I make the mold then pour a sample and that doesnt work then I have to make another one (tweek it a bit so to speak)that add's alot to the cost.
If I can get some info from my customer it would save you quite a few bucks and be close to what the aprox. price I told you.
like I said before with out his input that mold is a crapshoot if it will pour or not.

we never had too start over as I knew what we were doing from the very begining and explained that to you the very first time, The down time was the input from my snake customer.

More complexed molds take more time, I have some that been quite a few months and others that go out in a few days to a week. I have one particular one that is a nightmare and its an easy one and its been here a long time.

I also replied to your 3 pms and posts on april 11th then again on the 25th, yesterday you made a post and I replied with in an hour.

I do answer the posts and pms on my forum pretty quick cause I am on the phone and can do so pretty quick.

if you have tried to call this week, and left a msg. it hasnt been returned yet cause I am the only one here, Aprils been out since the weekend she was here for a few hours today.


BTW I never heard you wanted the samples back, if you did you didnt say so yesterday. insinuating you won't get them back especially when you never asked for them is very uncool.

sorry if there was a misunderstanding
Delw

Re: Custom molds

Im in no way involved in this one way or another, but sounds like a fair enough explanation to me. Maybe just a miscomunication or misunderstanding. It takes a stand up guy and a stand up buisiness to come out in public when he wasnt even mentioned and want to clear this up. Im just getting interested in plastics but Dels gonna get my buisiness when i do.

Re: Custom molds

Delw, negative on the understanding of waiting for another customers reply before mine was worked on. This is the first time I hear of that. Second I wanted the easy one first and could wait on the boomerang one, so that is backwards. Last time we spoke which is a month ago the symetrical one with the barrels was easy and would be done ASAP and I was going to wait on the other one. I PMed and left you messages saying to return the masters if you couldn't do it, no hard feelings, so to say I didn't is wrong. Anyways I don't want to start a pissing contest on this forum but I see you post on it all the time and obviously this got your attention. Like I said in every PM and message. My #603-231-5204. If indeed after all this time we have a misunderstanding lets talk it through. Emailing and PMs don't work for this type of application its better to speak one on one about this. Also MTfishingrods I didn't mention anyones name because that is disrespectful and I'm not looking for enemies I'm jusy looking to expand my fishing lures. He spoke up because he new. Now we'll clear it up.
