Title: Nano laminate plate
Post by: fsh4fun on 11/21/12 09:18 UTC

OK,so first thing this morning I`m in the man-cave playing with my new nano fry mold and the laminate plate. Using the laminate plate, after the first shot,it looks like I have to remove each bait by hand and than replace them back into the mold one at a time. Thats not so easy getting those little baits back in the right place.Has anybody found an easy way to do this? I was going to try to cut them off the spru,but that might scratch the mold.

Don't do that...   Once you take the lami plate off just lay your fingers across the bodies (making a "V") and pull the spru/runner out like a zipper.  All your bodies should stay in place.  If not they will only need a slight adjustment.  Close the mold and shoot it again (slow).  You now have laminated Nanos!

Sorry you had to go through the above experience.   :o

Jason nailed it!

I use a bit of worm oil on all my lami plates before I shoot them, this allows the baits to stay in the cavities during the de-mold process.

Hope this helps,

Drew

That can be arranged. Now I just need to shoot a deer!
