hawgpro Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Newbie to molds if I buy a football jig mold with a weed guard is there anyway to also use it to make a regular football jig without weed guard . Or do I have to buy both molds ? Quote
Super User Darren. Posted April 12, 2016 Super User Posted April 12, 2016 Welcome to the forums! Folks who pour their own molds will chime in here, just a welcome from me. 1 Quote
Kevin22 Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Sure! Just pour with no guard or pin in the mold and cut the excess off 1 Quote
Will Wetline Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Use a teflon pin and push it right up to the edge of the cavity. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 12, 2016 Global Moderator Posted April 12, 2016 The pins are cheap so I grind them down as close to flush as I can get and pour with them in place. Pouring and cutting off the excess is too time consuming for me when I'm pouring a bunch of heads. Quote
Super User WRB Posted April 12, 2016 Super User Posted April 12, 2016 Most folks mold the weed gaurd hole using a pin and glue in the fiber weed gaurd after molding the jig. Making a shorter pin will prevent a hole in the jig head; standard pin for making a hole, shorter pin for no hole using the same mold. Do It can provide you both pins. Tom Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted April 12, 2016 Super User Posted April 12, 2016 The easiest way is to take a weed guard and instead of inserting it up into the cavity, just leave it flush right at the entrance to the cavity and the close and pour. If you don't understand the way the molds work, you will once you get it as they aren't hard to figure out. Quote
