I have a hot plate I use along with a microwave. I cook two pyrex cups at the same time. when the plastics are the right temp, I pull them out and put them on the hot plate. During the heating of the plastics, I will put my molds on the hot plate. My plate is set at 350. The plate will keep the plastic hot long enough to get a couple good shots of the molds in before the plastic has to be reheated. I use the bass tackle twinjector with the blending block. It takes some getting use to after You have been using a single injector for a while. I like the results so far. The only thing is that I have 3 molds of the same bait but can't do more than 2 because the colors start mixing up or the blending block coold too quickly before I can get 3 done. That is why I use the hot plate. It gives me enough time to get the plastic out of the injectors and block and then shoot again. My first shot is just about always perfect shots with perfect laminates. The reason I went to the twinjector is because I was having problems with cold cracks when using a divider plate. The only problem I have with the molds now is that I have some older Jacobs molds that the sprew hole is too small to use the twinjector on. Newer Jacobs, bears, caney creek, bass tackles work fine.CF
