 This 4" swim toad mold is a lot of fun to play with. Here are some of my latest.

The bass will need sunglasses when hitting those. I love the multiple hand pours.

Stellar work !!  8)

That starts making my head hurt a bit just thinking about trying to hold my tongue just right to make it all come together in the end.  Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. ;)

Very nice work.

Are you using a microwave for your plastic?  Are you able to hand pour all of that and still able to complete the injection without having to reheat?

I appreciate you sharing, makes me want to have a couple copies of that mold to make them quicker.

I use a microwave, I heat both colors until they are about ready, then take out one color and leave in the color i'm going to use first, while I pour one I heat the other and keep swapping them and doing short bursts of heat to keep the temps up.
