I've not had much luck with bonding in the past, with out the wipe down. Had them come apart on me when I run the hook through the grub would come apart? Just do the alcohol wipe for insurance .

Sweet, great looking body too!

Liftbite very nice. if u want to try this, take a foil lid to an aluminum cooking pan the one for 1.89 at the food store. lay the mold on it trace out line and into sprue hole. cut with scissors and notching out the sprue area so u can shoot injector. punch holes where line up balls are an shoot as you normally would. now u have 2 halves that u can do anything u want. pinch off tail and reshoot other side and walah same results.

thanks fireman....that's interesting if you don't mind sometime do one take some pictures of each step, I'm a beginner and not completely sure I understand if I could do that can they be reused? Thanks

Ill try and get some pics up. yes the aluminum cutouts are reusable, many times over. Dave

Here's how I do it. With mold open I heat my secondary color while injector is heating in toaster oven. I shoot just the grub part of one side,( takes a steady hand) let it cool while heating primary color. I use a artist brush and alcohol wipe the grub body of the secondary color to insure bonding, after primary color comes up to temp. Put mold together clamp and shoot! Labor intensive a little but, worth it in my opinion. Hope this helps

Just what is a "alcohol wipe"? Specific type of alcohol?

I use an artist brush dip it in rubbing alcohol from the dollar store and brush the cooled plastic then close the mold and shoot the clamped mold with your primary color

Shoots we're talking rubbing alcohol?!?! Lol
