Kevin Beachy Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 five inch paddle tail worm. would u know how to keep the air pockets out of them. In the front, there is a section that is just air and makes the front float. Any ideas. I use molds with self injectors. (sorry for the blurry picture). http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/uploads/gallery/album_1535/tn_gallery_46930_1535_1029036.jpg http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/uploads/gallery/album_1535/tn_gallery_46930_1535_1333905.jpg -Kevin Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted January 11, 2015 Super User Posted January 11, 2015 Your link did not work for me. If your mold is metal, heat it up a bit. Warm up your injectors. Reduce your plastisol heat. Inject at a slower rate. One of those or maybe all of those may help you solve your problem. I had to do all of them to get one of my molds to work right. Trial and error added to experience is your best bet. Quote

enforcer Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 the bait will draw plastic from the sprue as the bait cools , and if theres not enough reserve in the sprue then it'll draw what ever plastic that it can , then it'll suck in air . best thing to do is to keep the sprue topped off and don't over heat the plastic 1 Quote

Inject and hold slight pressure 5 saecs. Hand pour plastic into the sprue as it goes down. Large bodied baits or multy cavities you will need to top off more than once. Quote
Kevin Beachy Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Well, i use self injectors, it is like a cup in the back, that us push in then.. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Sounds dangerous. Is that those clear plastic molds with the plastic plunger thing? ? Quote
