Title: Nano
Post by: MicroSpoons on 09/11/12 16:22 UTC
Got my Nano molds in and have been shooting them while working on other baits. Great bait and mold.Shoots real nice. A little tricky to hand pour due to its size but still possible.. first was hand pour belly then inject back,second is twin injector.

Magnificent work;  as are all your baits.    3mm eyes?   I have a "thing" against baits smaller than 1.5 Inches; but; the more pictures I see of this 1 Inch bait the weaker I get.

I sure there a lot of ways to work the mold, twin inject with lam plate, spin injector and twin inject again. dont matter how you do it its a good little bait

Typo.

no, not spin while injecting, just to reverse what you did on the first injection with the Lam. plate. gives you a top and bottom color the same with a wide center streak.

Oh, turn/spin the injector the other direction. Got it. I have tried slowly turning the twinjector just to see the results. Unimpressive to me. Does not swirl as some would suspect.

I'll wait a week and see if there are any who want to jump in on the Nano contest.  Keith has thrown down the gauntlet and set the bar high.

Jason, if you send me the mold for free I'll get in on this contest LOL!  ;D I'm interested to see what everybody who got this mold is going to come up with. There's going to be some awesome ones (I can tell).

Title: Re: Nano
Post by: MicroSpoons on 09/12/12 13:53 UTC
yep it is small, I wont do more than 3 color but most of the time it will be just 2 with the twin injector

Mine shipped today. Scared of how small it is. Never seen a small mold.

when you shoot your other molds and have just a little left in the injector,  grab about 5 nano molds for those last few drops of plastic. Doesnt take much at all

That is super impressive.  As Bill said above "Wow".  You can't really appreciate these unless you can see how small they are in person.

Keith, if you get a chance you should take a pic next to a penny.  I think that will help put in perspective the amount of precision involved in making these like this.

Awesome job.
