Lots of plastic piled up on the bench and lots of moaning and growning and internet appeals for help and I think I finally have the swirl thingy down, at least for today.

The bottom 2 are remelts without adding more color so they are off white and smoke but still swirls.

so did you do my "just dump it in a funnel" trick?

They look really good.

Jig Man · « **Reply #2 on:** March 22, 2010, 03:29:46 PM »

No it was a lot more complicated than that. I have been on a few web sites and gotten some good info.

GMAN · « **Reply #3 on:** March 22, 2010, 03:34:08 PM »

would it work with chart and white? I dont know if that color would work but it does on a spinnerbait.

So Mike are you asking me to use up 3 0z of plastisol on one of your brain storms?

Jig Man · « **Reply #6 on:** March 22, 2010, 04:28:44 PM »

Here is some purple/plumb and white that Red thought would look good.

GMAN · « **Reply #7 on:** March 23, 2010, 08:21:30 AM »

I sure was. LOL

So how are you doing that if your not dumping 2 colors in at the same time?

Jig Man · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2010, 09:43:25 AM »

I am using an 8 oz pyrex cup that I divided in half. I heat up 2 colors in the micro and pour them into the cup.

I pour an itty bitty stream like half the size of a pencil lead holding the cup at least 6" above the mold. Both sides have to have the same amount of plastic in them so the flow can be controlled. If I pour a larger stream then I only get laminates and two pours for lams is much easier.

Like with the b/w and p/w you can actually see the colors begin to mix in the air and mix even more when they hit the top of the mold. There is quite a bit of contamination when the pour is over so I am learning just how much plastic to use for 4 worms with minimal left over.

I'll try to do the c/w this afternoon if I get back from Roaring River in time. I'm taking 2 Fenwick HMG rods and some chest waders to Tim's Fly Shop and putting them on consignment.

I did a couple of pours and it turned out to be a nasty light yellow. Out in the light you could see the swirls but it needs to be more contrasting colors.

GMAN · « **Reply #12 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:00:51 PM »

that sucks. I was hoping it would work. I guess it was a good idea and will only stay that way. Thanks for trying.

Jig Man · « **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:05:12 PM »

Well it seems like you owe me 6 oz of plastisol.

Or I can ship you some nasty yellow some baits.

Nice looking baits yet agin there JM,...these ones look just like my rasberry yogurt before I stir it all the way!

Jig Man · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2010, 06:01:32 AM »

Think you sir. They taste a lot like raspberry yogurt, with a hook in it.

Actually, out in the sun they are a chart/white swirl but in the garage they are nasty.

I only did 4 but if I get the urge I may make some more and I'll send (GF) some but you can't use them not matter how many fish are biting on them.

GMAN · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2010, 03:34:09 PM »

Sounds good to me. As long as she is busy fishing and catching means more time on the lake and more trips!!!!

You got that right . I'm trying to get Rachel in the boat more often but with her being self employed it's a challenge.
Nice baits BTW Jig Man
