Re: Pouring using a Frydaddy

Thanks. I just did a search and found an earlier thread. I saw that predator had a pretty cool setup. Can you post pics of your setup? I just sent the link to my father and brother. They are the real mechanically inclined ones in my family. Hopefully we can come up with a plan to build one. Saint.

Re: Pouring using a Frydaddy

HEY SAINT... OPPPs I signed in under my SINKO BAITS NAME. I am also Harley-Cowboy...
ANYWAY, YES, I will take some pictures of my set up. It is soooo EASY you will be surprised. If you'd like, email me and I will send the pix instead of posting them. If you need more info, I will give you my tele# and you can call me about making the pot.
I make my plastics a gallon at a time. I have huge orders tho and it makes 500 baits per gallon. I USUALLY DO NOT use salt in the pots. When I have small orders for a bait with salt, I open the ball valve all the way and let the plastic go into a Pyrex cup and then add the salt my customers want and then pour.
IF ANYONE, has questions on my pot making... feel free to email me at: sinko@sinkobaits.com. I will help you all I can.

Re: Pouring using a Frydaddy

For those that are using the Presto pots, how thin of a stream can you get? I am looking for thin stream to help at pouring curly tail grubs.

Re: Pouring using a Frydaddy

If you do a search on the pot you will see my pictures of a stand.

You can get a thin stream, depending on what plastic and thickness it is will depend on how hot it needs to be to pour a thin stream.

Re: Pouring using a Frydaddy

rocky,

I drilled a hole in the center of the bottom of mine then used a thread tap so I could screw in my ball valve. I think I'd work better than putting it on the side (there's less wasted plastic on left in the pot). Just a thought.

Eric

Re: Pouring using a Frydaddy

How do you guys actually cook the plastic? Do you cook it in the pot or does the pot just keep it warm? Thanks. Saint

Re: Pouring using a Frydaddy

Saint, do not go with the frydaddy but go with the presto pot, you can heat from start with it, it has temp controll up to 400deg.
If you want to speed it up you can mic. the plastic and then dump it in.
