Good callout, I should have added that.

I'll likely go this route, it makes sense to start there and get used to the ins/outs of working with plastisol, color mixing, etc. It also allows me to get started a little sooner which I like. Thanks for the recommendations, I appreciate it.

Thanks for your insight. I think that may be the route I go. I'm interested in whether or not hand pouring may be a good route to start with given molds are typically cheaper, and there's no need for an injector. I also think it may give me some experience around pouring plastic and getting used to it all.

Hey Folks, I'm starting to acquire some of the tools that I need to start pouring plastics, currently I have my pyrex cups, infrared thermometer, gloves, measuring spoons, and microwave. I think I'd like to get into doing injection molds and I've wondered what folks thought a good size injector is to start doing injection molds? I see a lot of videos with folks with 6oz or higher, but I also see them shooting multiple molds which may not be feasible to start with. I purchased glitter as well, next month is two gallons of plastic and all of my colorant, so I still have time to make a decision on molds (hand pour seems fun too and easier to get into money-wise). What do we think about hand pour vs injection molding to start? I would imagine it's preference but I'd love to hear other people's experience. Thanks! Heph

No problem, previous thread had a lot of companies that no longer were in business and the formatting was... not the best. Figured this might help a few people. I know it's going to help me.

This is a formatted list of what I found that's still in business and sells molds.. among other things: do-itmolds.com zeiners.com lurecraft.com basstackle.com baitjunkys.com stores.jacobsbaits.com ultramolds.com enforcerbaitmolds.com jannsnetcraft.com lurepartsonline.com anglingai.com fishingluremolds.com cncmolds.com baitmold.com barlowstackle.com fatguysfishing.com I wasn't able to edit the initial post, but I removed a bunch that were no longer in business or their websites didn't work... I don't really patrol facebook for mold companies, maybe there are some out there that are easy to deal with and will make it worthwhile for me to actually look for them. I hope this list helps others, I'm sure it'll at least help me when referring back to the molds I'd like to buy.
