    Default Newbie question about my injector


    I have been making baits for a couple of months now and today I noticed that my injector isn't sucking in the plastic fully anymore therefore when I try to inject into the mold there is hardly any plastic. I have a jacobs baits injector any idea why this is happening?

    Thanks!

    Take the head off of the injector and take some Pam Spray it inside the injector to clean the excess plastic run the injector or back-and-forth they should work

    Tried that....would the O-ring be causing it? Would i need to replace it already?

    I was thinking o-ring. I keep mine oiled with worm oil at all times. Might try pouring plastic into injector. That's what I do.

    How fast do you do that? I did tried that and it seemed to start cooling too much by the time i started putting most of it in the mold.

    I pour in the injector when I'm ready to shoot the mold. Talking seconds it takes.

    Pam imo is the worst lubricant, As it is actually tacky, worm oil is best, I do not oil mine at all, plastic is self lubricating, being it is essentially petroleum based. Sounds like a oring to me. Cheap o rings will last only days. Good chance it needs a new one.

    Yea, I was planning on going to pick up a few O-rings to have and replace these. Thanks for the response. I also just ordered some plastic from you!
