Title: My Frog
Post by: RTL on 05/19/13 08:05 UTC

So after, I thought at the moment, 5 successful injections of a Green Pumpkin frog last night. It turned out, after closer inspection this morning, only one of them turned out perfect. The others had air pockets or some blemish that made me chop em up.

So, after reading the thread about re-heating plastics, I thought I'd give it another go this morning, but take it to the next level

Two toned with a yellow belly, added some eyes, heated up 2oz of Clear plastic and dipped em!

I LIKE IT!!!!

Nice looking bait for anyone; much less a first effort.  Very good job. 
Purging your injector may not have been mentioned.  When you suck up plastic into the injector,  carefully invert the injector - over your cup - and hold it still for a count of two or three; then SLOWLY push the plunger up -  until all the air comes out, and plastic just starts to be purged - over and down into the cup.  Then; you can clean off the plastic from the nozzle and pull part of the bugger from it; re-invert and inject your first mold.  Or you can skip the cleaning part and just inject.
I clean my nozzle as personal preference.
