I can't express how important what you're saying needs to be understood. I come from a manufacturing world in aerospace. And I can tell you how important it is to document and standardized what works. There are ton of variables that will contribute to failure. I honestly don't care about denting in my own bait when shooting. But for selling I can see people want perfect. I do see a ton of bad advice like you said.
When holding pressure on the mold be sure to release pressure before removing the injector. Also, tilt the injector toward you incase their is pressure the hot plastic shoots away from you.
I just started bait making. Been watching for around 6 years and you helped me get started. But I did mess up and should’ve bought this mold instead of the old school stick top pour mold because it’s too time consuming for me and I really regret not having that core shot. Thank you for all the information over the years
Love the channel mate!!! Is there a certain temp difference between mold and plastic that is optimal or rough guide to help reduce denting in bigger swim Baits 5-8 inch....
They use them when running high volume injection when molds get super hot..so hot that the baits won't set up for half an hour. It's to maintain timing
I was having a lot of denting issues with my 5” Bloodline molds until you clued me in on the importance of not allowing rapid cooling. Even when I use very hot plastisol with complicated skin pouring or capsuling, I now have only rare denting. I still am plagued by air bubbles but I think that is mostly due to pour injection technique as you demonstrated here.
@@WorldsWorstFishing I’m always racing to dual inject 9 top port cavities in my cold basement before my blending block hardens- so I inject to fast and fail to hold pressure long enough (maybe?)
Thanks Chris I definitely check all the boxes for bad techniques 😂 You gave me some things to experiment with. Would you have sold any of the baits that came out dented? What about the ones you really had to look at? Thanks so much. You inspired me to get in to the hobby 👍
Where can I buy the vented worm? Or is it just a mold for this specific video? I have a fatguys fishing 5” senko mold but would like a core shot mold with maybe a bigger profile
Thanks again for clearing that up because I got a jerk bait mold that dents most of the time and now I can shot slow and hold more pressure with out throwing it out lol thanks again triple j baits
Question: Is there a way to minimize the bubbles that you show in the fluke mold at the end of the video? I have a crappie bait mold that does that consistently.
That same mold with the core rods, using Dead-on sinking, gave me dents. Played with the temps and still had dents. I wasn’t injecting slow and holding as long though Take those rods out and no problems
I have to say I was really shocked you pulled out the stinger mold. I have had dents in it, like 2 or 3, over 1000+ baits. The split tail shad is notorious in my house for denting along the sides and I was guessing that was what you were going to grab.
i tried what you said slow injecting pressure and I tried it with these individual molds from bugmolds the bandito bug zako and the gilly is there another way to inject individual port molds i never have problems with one port molds for all the baits and they dont want to fill in all the way and it is dent crazy its my first time buying individual molds i seen the end of the video with those flukes bugmolds the molds dont look like that
and forgot to add something else the bandito bug the wiskers part dont want fill in all the way and tail part for zako and gilly dont want to fill in all the way
@@WorldsWorstFishing I still think that it's a thermal change, and in fairness sometimes the big manufacturers have dents on their baits as well I try to have warm molds,warm injector and try to have plastisol not super hot, but every so often it happens...I can usually use the baits, so no big deal,but just annoying
Yep, that is right, when I see it, I think I am going ok with bait making!😂😂, just like the big guys 😂 Cheers Chris, always appreciate your insight and experience with soft plastics making, really helpful
Do you find denting to be a problem? Or just a pesky annoyance?
Definitely annoyance- The fish don’t care,
I really appreciate the more technical aspects that you take the time to show us! Thanks, Chris!
My pleasure @@heathercummins1644

Thanks Chris. That pretty much shows me what I asked you about last week. That mold is on its way back to the maker. Thanks again.
When holding pressure on the mold be sure to release pressure before removing the injector. Also, tilt the injector toward you incase their is pressure the hot plastic shoots away from you.
good tip 👌
I have learned so much from your tutorials since I started making my own molds. Thanks!!

Awesome video Chris! Hopefully this finally clears things up for some folks! Cheers brother!
All about getting good information out to the community
Good timing on this video! I was just having this issue and trying to problem solve it, now I know! Thank you.
@@TheFishinMortician my pleasure
Lot of good info could you tell what you think is wrong with the last mold you showed and what you could do to fix it.
👍that should help a lot of folks high heat and rushing the shot can be problematic with any mold
@@tracynewman5246 agree
Nice job explaining thanks OG

Awesome explanation on everything. I really just find them a pesky annoyance since I only make for myself. Fish don’t seem to care
@@basscatlildave 👍👍
Love your, channel
Thanks
Got to try some of your baits
Thank you
You're welcome
I just started making my own baits !!
And selling them
Very good info Chris. Question If it’s cool molds that are part of the problem that cause denting then why do people use Cooling Plates? 🍻
They use them when running high volume injection when molds get super hot..so hot that the baits won't set up for half an hour. It's to maintain timing

@@WorldsWorstFishingThanks for the tip and another really great informative presentation!
I have more issues with molds that have a ton of vents that continue trapping air..
Hmmm..tons of vents but trap air??
Thanks Chris I definitely check all the boxes for bad techniques 😂
You gave me some things to experiment with.
Would you have sold any of the baits that came out dented? What about the ones you really had to look at?
Thanks so much. You inspired me to get in to the hobby 👍
I would have set aside the noticeable dents
Great video and lots of good info
Thank ya
Where can I buy the vented worm? Or is it just a mold for this specific video? I have a fatguys fishing 5” senko mold but would like a core shot mold with maybe a bigger profile
Ai makes the mold...Core Shot stick bait..it comes with plenty of vents standard

Question: Is there a way to minimize the bubbles that you show in the fluke mold at the end of the video? I have a crappie bait mold that does that consistently.
@tevans404 not really..you'd have to be able to add vents or drill out the gates wider
Do you think using cooling plate with and air vise may cause the likely hood of denting?
@LarryDean903 yes...cooling too fast can cause them..
Will the same techniques apply for injecting into a silicone mold? I appreciate your wisdom
Hmmmm....probably..inject it soft..don't push hard
Where do you order your bags from.
I know you said shoot the plastic cold should i still heat up the molds with a pancake griddle that what i use is a griddle i just want to make sure
Preheating is never a bad idea imo
@@WorldsWorstFishing thank you

Take those rods out and no problems
Yeah they shoot just about perfect with no rods

Nope! It’s gotta be the molds fault! 😂🤣😜

@@davidsagastume3700 it's the worst
I would not use Facebook for anything. It’s a very died platform! It’s full of very old people

Annoying more than anything, just happens every now and again, some molds seem more prone to it, but not all the time
Yep..you'd be amazed how many people contact the mold maker claiming faulty molds over the issue.
