Slowly fill the mold.  Slowly.

So as a result of all your helpful feedback I found the following: number one, Shooting the beaver bug mold very very very slowly helped reduce the teardrop holes. Number two, I must have done something wrong with the VHT spray… I thought I followed the directions in skimpy’s video, but after applying two coats over 48 hours and letting dry another 24 hours, I shot the bait and it was covered In the black color from the spray. The black spray on the mold had also become wet and could be wiped off with the finger. Yikes.

While I prefer the look of the super smooth baits, I’m also not convinced They’ll catch fish any better than the Bates I pour with the rough ES series. Thanks again everyone. Grateful noob here. Merry Christmas!

Glad you got the mold to start behaving. I tried the high temp paint on a few of my ES molds. Not a fan of it. My paint job lasted 20 or so rounds before it started to come off in small flakes on the baits. I’m guessing I probably went a little heavy on the coats. Anyway, I can live with the mat finish because the fish don’t mind it.

Like Jrock, I'm a lot closer to the tundra than you are and it just might be that since you don't very often deal with the kind of cold that we do you may not get the same issues as we might. You have a Merry Christmas Gary. BTW, I don't do caffeine.

Tundra?  Oh I know some stuff about da Tundra, me.
We have Toyota dealerships all over de place down here in de Sout!
