Baits running a little low so I went back to the garage today and made a couple batches of 2" baby shad stingers. I have been having problems with my laminates de laming on me for a while. My two problems that I cant seem to get past are...

1) using dividing plate, when demolding, If the half I want to stay in the mold comes out in the process and I have to tuck the baits back in the cavity, when I shoot the second color, it warps the tails. Most of the time it curls them down and sometimes to a 90 degree curve. If the baits stay in the cavities by some miracle and are undisturbed in the cavity, then they come out perfect.

2) to get past problem #1, I used vegetable oil on the side of the divider plate that I wanted to stay in the mold. The oil acts like a non stick agent. Problem is it also acts like a nonstick agent when You shoot the second color and the baits delam with very little pressure. jig head barb will split the bait.

So I have baits that won't stick together or baits with warped tails.

NOW, I was thinking I could shoot the baits without oil, tuck baits back in the cavities and then shoot the second color and then put the molds in a toaster oven for 10 minutes or so at 300 degrees to maybe reset the tails.

Any opinions? thanks.CF
