would anyone know why the salt sinks in my molds and lays in the bottom half of the bait.I don't have any problems with my stand up molds with the same mix and same amount of salt

I found that if you are pouring heavy salted baits in an open mold you have to flour the salt fo it to suspend.

When I pour bait's with salt no matter what they are I have to stir them all the time to keep it even through out the mix. Hope this help's..............Jeff...................

Your plastic may be to hot and its not suspending before you pour.

Are you using fine or floured salt? The only way to get consistent mix of salt throughout the plastic is to use a mixer in the pot (Lee's) if you're using large grain salt which sinks as fast as sand. Floured salt makes a bait a bit more opaque, but many brighter colors do as well with less translucence. Bedside, floured salt creates the most natural white there is for laminate shads.

what type of bait is it? is it a bigger bait that holds lots of plastic.?
whats happening is that the plastic stays hot longer( cause its bigger) and so the salt being heavier sinks too the bottom. you can try to lower the heat temp of the plastic and that may suspend the salt more. if not throw a pc fan on the bottom side of the mold so it will cool the plastic faster.

a stand up mold( 2 piece) will disipate heat faster thats why unless the plastic is extreamly hot it wont settle as fast.

I do use a mixer in a lee pot to try to supend the salt.the salt I use is from lure craft
