when shooting laminates the overall temp you shoot at is less important than making sure they are close. Viscosity is what you are after but on the small hobby level making sure the temps are as...

The temperatures between the 2 colours need to be as close as you can. Very tricky to do consistently with microwaves. but yes, if your temps are right it will laminate fine.

if thats the one from DelMart have fun getting it and if (when) it don't shoot right get ready to hear about how you're not shooting plastic right.

So then it's more like a fan tail grub, with 5 tails. Referencing it as a tube I think is what has Leonard confused, had me confused as well.

Well, if you read through the thread you will see this response :



meaning no, he is not making the molds to sell.

Ummmm, your hook is upside down.

Exactly.

Personally I would be careful as he seems to have no problem copying anything on the market. At least with the US machinists like Leonard at *********s you can be sure that when you have a mold made...

Nope, that is one of MF's colours. Never seen it anywhere else

It is not a product that is easily processed by the hobbyist. It requires specialized equipment to process it properly. One of the plastic companies made something similar available years ago and...

Those colours that he was selling were from Spike It, he would just buy the paste pigment and cut it with plasticizer as most resellers do. The difference is he would mix it down quite far to...

Lure Craft has the only plastic that I have ever seen hard pack. as DrNip posted most all will separate, it's what happens when you mix a solid (PVC resin) with a liquid (plasticizer)

You can order hard plastic from anywhere that sells plastic. There is no such thing as plastic made specifically for tubes. All they've done is added a little additional stabilizer to the mix, they...

Hardener is a pain to work with. Get a harder compound to match what you need in a harder bait and soften as needed.

Why wouldn't it work? Only injection molds that don't work right with a laminate injector are multi cavity molds where the baits are laid on their sides, like a lot of swimbaits.

I have 6 of this...

Now why would I bother doing that? I buy my plastic direct from a manufacturer with very little consistency problems (none that I have seen in 3-4 years), not a reseller with what seems to be quite a...

Do It's plastic has been VERY inconsistent in the several samples I have messed with. Either bubbles or yellows, VERY badly. Every time you turn around you hear about them replacing "bad" plastic. I...

When it comes to plastic everyone, there are 3 companies I have used and in the past 8 years that have had a VERY consistent product.

The plastic you buy at *********s (the degassed is a major...

How long is it sitting in the pot for?

Spike it has .025 hex in their Lureworks line in most colours.

Math is a little off there, 700 6" worms out of a gallon at $63.25 (add in shipping as well so that will increase your costs) make them 9 cents (not .4 cents) each. Easiest way to find out is to mix...

Weight is weight. you don't measure out 4 fluid oz in a measuring cup, you weigh out 4oz of plastic. so if 10 baits weigh 1 oz, you calculate that there is 128oz per gallon, 128 x 10 = 1280 per...

Whats the 2" curl tail weigh?

Hey, hope someone spots this in time and can take advantage of it. I haven't seen pricing this low on a 5 gallon pail of plastic. *********s has a sale on 5 gallons of Medium plastic right now

5...

It's all personal preference, cook up a little straight hard and see if you like it. If not then play around with it.

Sadly your idea of what that is worth is way off. You ever wonder why you never see it done? Because most of the hobby community refuse to pay what it is actually worth.

The LC500 is just a hard plastic, there is no special additive in to make it tougher for tubes. Harder plastics scorch and yellow easier so most have added stabilizer in them from the factory. I see...

I imagine if you're actually willing to pay for them he would make them for you

Sorry, but the plastic I am using is custom mixed for me. It's mixed to my specs for me in a non standard hardness.
