My shop is out of control! I took this picture after an hour of cleaning! I will not make another bait until it's clean and organized! Ha I guess I finally reached my limit when I had nowhere to lay out baits. When I clean, I throw away! Be a good time to check my garbage can.

Wish my shop looked that good. Let me ask, do you preheat your injector by laying it on the hotplate? Do you heat your plastic in the pyrex cup on the hotplate or do they happen to be sitting there? Man that is a nice shop.

I do heat my basstackle injectors a little. They are thicker wall than others. I cook the plastic in the mic and then put it on the griddle to help keep it hot so less reheats between demolding.

Nice tip, I may have to try heating my injector some. Even pulling hot plastic in and shooting it right back out a few times to heat the injector I still have trouble with it clogging half way through shooting a mold. Very frustrating.

Where's the tying vise ??? I see materials but no vise. I used to save everything but it's getting easier to drop stuff in the trash now.

Ok lead and plastic side is done. Got the sickles organized! Decided to stash the round bends out of site! I'm thinkin the fridge is goin to have to leave the shop. It will give me another 3 ft of countertop. I'll also be able to build shelves above the counter to hold all my colorants and glitters. Be nice to be able to see them all but still be out of the way!

I see two boxes of red #4s with my name on em.

Looks surgical style clean and organized! Good luck keeping it so.

I'm the same way about pitching stuff when I clean. My excuse is that I'm a nomad. What's yours?

Maximize your space… DON'T GET RID OF THE FRIDGE!
Unless that not where I'm Gon be sleeping when you rent to me.
Then it's whatever.
