how do you keep wb400's from falling out of teardrop and other molds

(1/2) > >>

oleo40:
I have a new teardrop mold and can"t   keep  the wb400;s to stay in place.  Try to make a full mold and better than half fall out EVERY time .

Fishermanbt:
First and foremost welcome to the board. I have a few questions. Could you list the mold models you are having this issue with?  For example, the teardrop jig Model #: JT-5-WBA. Secondly, are you making sure the WB400 keeper is actually seating into the grooves beside the hook?  Sometimes if one doesn’t seat properly the mold will not seal when closed thus causing the keepers and or hooks to fall out. I tend to lay my molds all the way open and load the keepers and hooks on the left side so the the leg of the keeper is pointed down into the cavity. Maybe post a few pictures of your mold loaded with keepers and hooks then a picture after the pour.

Muskygary:
Fishermanbt hit the nail on the head. Make sure to load the side of the mold so that the wire keeper leg is facing down into the mold. Then close the mold and check to see that the mold is closed all the way before picking the mold up.

Lines:
Both of the above tips should work. Also, be sure your mold hinges are oiled well so they do not seize at all. Really makes a difference when it closes smoothly.
