Title: A Few Tips/Tricks
Post by: DF on 01/12/20 15:32 UTC

 Here are some tips/tricks I have posted throughout the years.

 You can hand pour the open halves of your injection molds to create some all new baits.

 To test a color or use the last bit of plastic in your cup, put a piece of spru in the mold to block off cavities.

 Multi size worm. Cut worm, place forward in mold, close, clamp and shoot. This works well with the carrot molds also. Make sure the pieces fit tight in the mold and go easy with the injection pressure.
