I have done a 3 color with it BUT noway would I want to do a 4 color. As soon as someone saw it they would have to have it in this color and that color. Takes way to much time unless your just doing them for yourself.

Are all of those dipped? Do you make them without dipping or do you have to dip due to the slight cracks from dealing with the small amounts of plastic?

I was planning on dipping but might try to get away with no dip on some just to see the difference.

I dip most everything cause I put eyes on A LOT of baits. you can get away from it if you keep your molds on the griddle to keep your first or second color hot and less heat loss while injecting. Small sprue leads to cooler running plastic so keeping the molds hot helps a lot

If anyone can get a good looking 4 color Nano Fry I will be extremely impressed because it is so small.  Here's a challenge: If you can make a stunning Nano Fry I will buy a bag and feature it on our Facebook page promoting you and your company (or just you).  If you don't want to be featured you can just claim bragging rights.

Let the creativity begin!

OK got my mold and have one thing to say IT IS REAL SMALL. Two colors piece of cake, four I will let you know but color choice is going to be key. Getting it to not have cold cracks is going to be hard too.

Agreed! Made a few different 3 colors + 1 dip color and then one 5 color + dip color to = 6 colors. Have to dip and see what they look like though. No 3mm eyes but these are for the gill pills so no eyes really needed.

Gonna have to figure out colors like Franks says as I used black and smoke blue. Doubt you can see the difference.

I hand poured all my colors by using my 1 cup pryex cups except for the last 2 shot with the twinjector.
