Think about what your doing. Use your head. Why coat something with pam or anything else when you don't have to....

THINK OUT OF THE BOX.

I can pull 24 pins in a mold in less than 30-40 seconds.

NOT METAL and I don't like giving people things on silver platters....Sometime people make things very difficult for themselves.

WHAT MAKES A PAN NON STICK????????????????????

If it came off like I was asking for anything on a silver platter, I apologize as that was not my intention. I very seldom ask many questions on this site as I rather figure things out from trial and error, but this one I was stumped with.

I was experiencing difficulty pulling pins from my tail weight mold so I asked a question of this forum as I know more than a few people here who have similiar tail weight molds. This afternoon I tried the nails as was suggested and it worked very well with Pam Spray.

I learned how to use tail weight molds from other plug builders over the years and everyone that I know uses some sort of pin, never knew about the nail method. I also learned there is a difference between SS and Hardened Tool Steel today so it was a good day as I learned 2 new things.

If I was doing this for a living I would look into your hint further but as my wife pointed out if I made plugs for a living we would be on welfare.

I am not so much worried about efficiency since I make only 100 of these tail weights a year as I only make about 100 pencil bodies.

Thanks for your help and I wish you and your family health and hapiness in 2011.
