how do u swirl colors for the injectors

Look on the second page of general discussion forum.  I asked this same question recently and sparky had the answer.

Also, if a feller had a real steady hand, divided cup and a hand pour mold, he could turn the cup back and forth to achieve a swirl.  Too many ifs for me.

That is how I do mine...

The divided cup works well for me too.

I'm envious, G.

Well thanks.  I still feel like such an amateur, that's nice to hear 

[CrabbyBass]

gstott, those look awesome!  Great job!  Can you please explain what you mean by a divided cup?  Thank you!

[gstott]

Well thank you    I took a Pyrex graduate and cut a piece of sheet metal to divide the cup and secured it with epoxy.  I then heated two separate colors and poured one into each half of the graduate.  I then poured the bait.  The higher you hold the graduate above the mold, the more the colors are going to be separated.  I've been doing so many injection baits lately I haven't done this in a while, but I'll have to make some more.  Thanks again, you make me want to keep working at it.

I figured you could do it that way, Jim.  Gstott, nice looking swirls, and that top stick really looks great.

[gstott]

Thanks again guys.  That top bait is just made out of scraps as is the matching frog.  That's one nice thing about swirls, it's a good way to use up scrap plastic.
