What's shaking Flashy?
Seems that either you have a bad/expired batch of uv resin, or your light source is not generating
a sufficient amount of the wave length needed to cure the resin you are using.
Take some of your tacky baits and hang them outside in the sun for a while and give them a turn at some point. If after an hour or 2, or so, they are cured and no longer tacky then the problem is likely the light source.
If after the sun exposure they are still tacky it's likely the resin itself is no bueno.
Let us know what happens.
Good luck.
Whats shakin Voodoo?
I have found that using a pair of these, as close to both sides of the lure as you can get, as in a few inches on each side
usually means 5min is enough, though you could go 10 if you want. I use the 2 foot version, but there is also the 4 footer.
Hi Smalljaw
I'm thinking making and attaching a stencil could work well for the dots.
Messing around with a problem is at least half the fun.
Good luck.
Yup way softer. It is more of an issue in thinner baits, which become quite droopy, like trick worms.
I have no problems with fatter kietech style baits like do-it rippers or senkos though.
So yes, as Johnny Carson's side kick used to say, "You are correct sir!".
Here you go River.
This guy is an engineer type and really puts together some solid testing of lots of tools.
You can get good info and kind of lose yourself in all his testing vids.
I think they get pretty backed up now with all the do it yourselfers that our current time in history has spawned.
I think it took about a week and a half for my injector to ship and they would not reply to phone or email messages until the
product had actually shipped. At that point I got an email that it had shipped. So just be a bit patient and you'll probably get your order, it will just take a bit more time.
You can fill it and wait a couple of seconds and shoot it all back into the cup and then fill it again. This will heat up
the injector a bit so you can get an extra mold or 2 if you move quickly. When using manual injectors it's really more
towards the hobby side, though some use it who sell. The automated side of soft plastics is the more heavy duty mass
production end of things. I'm just d......ing around for fun myself. Enjoy!
Just by looking at it, it looks like you should mix the underlying color in well, then add a bit of the lighter color and
start very gently and slowly swirling it in . Then stop as soon as you see something you like stop and try pouring your
creation.
Yea, I had the same idea a few years back and looked it up, it had been patented many years ago. We all think about these little lures
and often come up with similar solutions. Imagine that.
I laughed when I read the part about the bail breaking the line, that has happen to me so many times, it's ridiculous.
