Title: questions on pouring platics
Post by: Bassgeek on March 21, 2011, 07:54:20 PM
Might start pouring my own. Found a few places the sell the supplies (Janns, Lurecraft and Bears Baits.) Any other places to look? I'd like to find a intro setup to try it out.

Lurecraft is awesome. Huge selection and orders get shipped extremely fast. The best I have dealt with!

Lurecraft is great for supplies such as scents, glitter, and coloring. My favorite plastic is M-F manufacturing. Joshimoto (forum member and moderator) is now cnc'ing aluminum molds and they are fantastic...I would talk to him especially if you have plans on designing something unique. Just be forewarned about Del's molds if you find his site (del-mart.com)...he is SLOW and has terrible customer service. Everytime I've ordered there it has been a hassle. In fact, I ordered another injector a month ago and despite being charged the same day...still haven't got it. Emailed once...no reply. Called yesterday and was told it will be in the mail soon. <sigh> Never again.

Thanks for the answers, I've been looking at what Bears Baits and Bass Tackle have. I got some catalogs from Janns and Lurecraft on the way. Just so much info to ingest. Good to know about the CNC mold guy. If i ever get that far I'll look into what he can do.

I can vouch for joshimoto.  Not only is he very knowledgeable, he's also a real nice guy.  And, he is most generous with his information. I'm certain that you will benefit from dealing with him. 

With his CnC capabilities he can even make custom molds for you of whatever can be put in the computer.  So basically, if you can imagine it, he can make it.

He's also poured plastics a bunch.

Josh,

I will let ya know when the time comes. Off hand I could see wanting a creature, a senko type thing and 3.5" or 4" tube. Got to get the area set up and then figure on equipment.
