I wouldn't know the use of all the rest of the stuff in your post.
I currently have 3 aluminum injector molds and several plaster of paris (POP) open pour molds. Dead on Plastix is plastisol, and the de-gassing chamber takes any air bubles out of the plastic before injecting giving you a better product. I didn't mention a couple little pointed spoons for hand pouring the bellies on the ultra small 1.75-in. crappie baits. A technique I'm learning thanks to CTOM and some of the outstanding baits he produces. It willl take time to get it down, but the results are out of this world...
