How I do 3 color pour

stopped last night to do this as I had to take a break. lol was working on a couple of large orders and dipped over eyes for 15 hours and needed to do something else. Yea to take a break I still make plastics. lol Guess that means I am hooked;)


I do mine both ways, or should I say 2 different ways. For production I use the twin injector but for special order or some of the stuff that goes in my box I hand pour then inject. because all my grubs get dipped after I dont heat my molds as cold cracks is not an issue but I have found by holding pressure on the injector it helps with the bond. For my hand pour/inject like on the small fry I tilt the mold up if I want to get a throat color other wise it end up as a belly color on the bait. I tilt it one way and pour the throat then turn the mol and do the other half of the grubs. While I am doing that I have my back color heating up. Then I lay the mold flat and pout the back. When doing both half's of the mold make sure you dont over fill or you wont have room for the plastic to go when you inject it. once the back is done I close them up and inject the body color. Not as fast as the twin injector but once you get going you can reheat once while working with another and it can go fairly quick.

thank you for sharing Keith this is very good information.

Hey Keith,
My hat is off to you brother. Most folks start selling and they clam up on there ideas. You are doing just the opposite. The more you learn the more you share. I do not pour and I can't wait to see what you have come up with again. Thanks for all you give to us and I believe it does go around!

If they don't catch fish, NOTHING WILL .

I do too!!!

Keith,
Are you using a syringe to put the plastic in the top and bottom of the mold or another method?

Thanks,

Scott

Freaking Amazing! You Are truly talented..

If you dont mind me asking what kind of mold is that and where can I buy one?

I will pick you up on 12/28 cheers Thanks for showing that. It confirmed my assumptions of what I thought you were doing. That is the engineer in me coming out. It must be very time consuming to do that camo bait you did. How is that mold you are working on going? I cant wait to see what your came up with. You have a talent for sure. Reading your post and looking at all your cool pics just pushes me closer to jumping into the injection world. Keep up the good work.

Dem are some fine looking baits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys, I pour them using the silicone cups. You onl want to put a little in them because they are real flimsy but you can pinch the cups to make a real fine pour spout.

Chris,I am waiting on that mold. Last I heard was he was taking some out to test them. I may take you up on the 28th if I dont get to go out sooner. I know where they are just cant get to them.

Keith,

That helps a beginner like me. My mold is five cavities. I will have to try this technique. Did you have both colors heated at the same time? Is it best to wait a full minute between the pour and when you clamp the mold and inject so the colors don't bleed on each other? Are there any issues with bonding?

I am glad you posted this. I have been experimenting doing two tone baits and kept messing up. Merry Christmas.

those look great, wish I had the time to do some like that. great job as always.

Awesome job! Man that is some nice and neat hand pouring!

Those are some awesome looking baits as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great tutorial! I'm gonna have to start saving up for a multi-cavity mold... :)

Nice work Keith when do you want to go I'm allways ready.

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing this old post by Keith he expired me over the years one of the best bait makers there will be.
