To clear the air a little, my post wasn't meant to shed a bad light on Do-it, their products or anyone else. I can see how it could be seen that way. I have zero questions in my mind about Do-its integrity , customer service or them doing their due diligence and then some developing new molds. I have been using Do-it molds for over 30 years and will continue using/buying new ones for as long as I am on the right side of the grass. I probably should have gone to Do-it with this issue from the get go but figured I would ask here hoping I could figure it out with a little help from you guys. I don't know if this was necessary but I just wanted to make sure there was no bad mounting/PAMING on my part.
Andrew, Bubbles in my plastic are not the issue. A few micro bubbles every now and then ? Yes but nothing the size of what's showing up in those baits. If it were bigger bubbles then they woudl show up in my other baits which they don't. I mix/shake my plastic for 2-3 minutes before I cook my first batch of plastic. I shake it again with each batch I make during every bait making session. Heck, even when I am waiting for my baits to cool or plastic to hit 350 I give it a shake or two. Sometimes I get bubbles from pouring the raw plastic into my cup but I always wait until those bubbles dissipate before I pop it in the microwave. When I fill my injector, I tilt it to the side a little bit so the plastic runs down the side ( inside ) to avoid introducing any bubbles. I have found that pouring it strait into the injector causes bubbles.
I'll call Do-it one of these days if I can find the time. I'm working 10-14 hour days pretty much 6 days a week (save the last two Saturdays) I also spent the last 36 hours wondering how my dad would fare as he rode out Irene near Clearwater. I was pretty happy to hear all is well with him and his home late this morning. Bottom line is I am beat.
Thanks for everyone's input. A lot of good dudes here for sure.
