What is created paint?
Heat your jigs with a Blow Dryer before you airbrush the primer on. (white paint)
Heat before additional colors.
I live in Southern California, heating my jigs before airbrushing helps a lot.

Just noticed the hook eye was not in place. Here is a new photo.
Also heat the hook while it is in the mold with a torch before closing the mold. (Hook shaft Bait keeper area)

The expensive route to use is:
Owner Twistlock Light Hook
Or
Owner Twistlock Open Gap Centering Pin Hook
Remove the Centering - Pin. Use them on other hooks/Baits
No - Just a few taps on the outside (hook eye area) of the mold (both sides) while the hook is in place
with a heavy Mallet. You do this, just to get a seal (closed all the way) on the mold.
Watch and listen to what this guy does in this video.
He loves to talk, his technique is at the 22:50 mark.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Lower the temperature of your plastic. About 320* Hold pressure for only 10 seconds.
Make sure the sprue has not harden or sealed up.
Top off sprue with hot plastic from your injector and or cup.
Get a Sprue Extender.
Sprue Extender gives large cavity molds additional hot plastic to draw from as the mold cools.
I do not have this mold, but the web site spells out 5 cavity. Also under Accessories you can buy extra rods.
There it says "Molds originally come with rods". Try calling A.I.
Hope this helps a little.
