I like it!  I will say this- you better make sure those blending blocks are nice and warm!  I can't wait to see pics!  Maybe one of us will have to come out and visit with two more blending blocks and another Twin (and another blending blocks to join the two main blending blocks of course) and shoot that with you at the same time for an 8 color bait.

I am not 100% but I think Coosa Redeye has made some this way.  They turned out well.  I personally don't even have the coordination to attempt it.

I know a three laminate has been done by several folks.  So if a three, then a four would conceivably be possible.  I would think a four would be a two person operation.  In my case a three person operation; I would be watching and offering encouragement   :D

Or.... use the new laminate block for your mold (when available for your favorite) and use the twin injector and blending block on side a...then side b (at least that's what I'm going to try tonight).

The "tower of power" you have in your drawing looks like an accident waiting to happen to me. Heck...I still have a heck of a time with a single twin injector and blending block!!!

You know....we are getting dangerously close to needing "an intervention" ! :o

I've read where it has worked.  I have not tried it, but as long as you can push all four evenly, you'll get the results you want.

Bill...you might consider a 3/4" - 1" aluminum bar bored to fit over the knobs of the injectors.  Applying pressure to the bar might alleviate the problem of even pressure being applied to all of the injectors.  Just a thought from someone completely lacking in any mechanical abilities.
Until next time.

I have absolutely no plans so trying this. Was just wondering if it could be done.

Someone on another forum asked about 4 colors swirls so it got me thinking.

It works as diagrammed. It is tough to keep everything together and not safe to me.
