CNC Molds N Stuff Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 You might be able to use a tube with offset holes drilled at different layers, or a twisted piece of flat metal such that a twist divides the gate of each cavity. I've done both. and gotten a laminate, but it isn't as nice as a laminate in a mold properly oriented for it. The big problem with swimbaits is producing a mold that is oriented nicely for laminates, vents properly, tail vents properly, and produces the tail cleanly. There are some tricks to make it work, but the mold gets a little more complicated. The twisted metal worked better than the drilled tube, but they both produced a laminate. Well sort of. Both methods produced a lopsided laminate, but if you only look at one side... LOL. I saw Toadfrog post some pictures of a laminated swimbait on Facebook. I assumed from looking at them he used one of these methods. His looked better than mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
