Ship has some good suggestions on this. I'll just add that if the hand poured portions are done in numbers in advance and allowed to sit for even a day they should get an alcohol bath before they are used. Plastic bait parts made ahead will exude oil and the surface you are bonding to when the top color is injected won't or is less likely to develop a good weld even when pressure is held on the injector or higher heat is used. I make a lot of tail pieces and store them but I cut the sections longer than I want to bag them for later use. When I want to use some I simply cut off the extra which gives me an oil-free surface to weld to. I have made and stored belly sections too, but those have to have the mating surface wiped free of oil using alcohol and paper toweling.
