Here's a 4" frog from a new-to-me injection mold. I did this one with a core color to see how well and how easy core will be using this mold.

it looks good buddy I hope to see some more of this one I do have two different sizes but I never thought about doing core shot.
Here's another using the black belly and chartreuse and blue for the lines.

Ctom, those frogs look outstanding man. Greta job! The top pic's colors would look great in a craw bait if You got one. Get the red in the claws. That would be a tough looking craw.
I love the chartreuse, blues and clear. great combo in the frogs!CF
This one came out way different than I thought it might. That's why I enjoy this type of shooting...with the raw color for lines....everything is totally unknown until the mold gets opened.

I have to call it a wow.
Loved all of them. How did you make them come out like that? Are is that a goverment secret and you would have to kill me if you told me.
:ThumbsUp
How do you do core shot?
Tim...just hand pour the belly side of the mold, then dot raw colorant in a couple places after the belly pour cools off some. Close the mold and keep it flat until the top color of plastic is heated to shooting temp. Then clamp the mold keeping it flat, fill the injector, stand the mold upright quickly and inject it. You have to keep the clamped mold flat to prevent the raw colorant from running. It takes some practice but the results can be dramatic as shown. Its a process that is well worth the messing around.
Does the colorant in the legs of the frog stay in the middle of the plastic or is it more toward the underside of the frog?
It tends to shoot thru the middle of the leg.
