I've been using an aluminum sheeting myself . Just didn't know how far down the line you'd come . May get a dual injector some day when I see something I like and I think I've seen them all .

I place a piece of tin foil between the mold halves then clip out a notch in the foil at the injector port . When you shoot the mold it splits the plastic that is injected into two halves inside the mold . When you open the mold you can pull out the separated half leaving the other half in the mold . Close the mold and inject again with a different color . This will give you a pretty nice laminated bait .

I call these dividing plates the tinfoil works quite well the medal or galvanized sheeting you will have to drill some holes for your alignment pins some of the mold makers are making aluminum plates now to do this we do have several molds with dividing aluminum plates but I prefer to use the dual injector but if you want a perfect line down the middle and separate colors use the dividing plate your dual injector will land a little bit but I used to dual injector for speed you can do up a lot of debates in a bigger hurry and do not have to mess with dividing plates but if you're going to just shoot a few baits this is the way to go use tinfoil or galvanize metal.

I would not use the bad one's, Just send them to me and I will discard them, Just kidding they both look great, I would like to make my own someday.

Here is something else you can play with . Make a plunger for a hot glue gun . Just like you were going to use it for a hypodermic syringe . Take a worm or a sprue the size of a glue stick Poke it in the glue gun insert the plunger . When its hot press the plunger put drops in your mold before you shoot it . Stick it to lures and leave spots eyes ect. The thing about plastic is creepy crawler sets have come a long long way . We can play with them until we are 80 or 90 yrs old and nobody suspects we are still 12 yr olds in an old package .
