Silicone Split Cups Are Back in the Making Baits Store
Good news for all you bait-making enthusiasts out there! After a brief hiatus, the highly-demanded Silicone Split Cups are back in stock and better than ever. These innovative tools have become a staple in the DIY bait-making community, allowing for seamless and precise color splitting in your soft plastic baits. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, these split cups are a game-changer, and we're thrilled to announce their return.
The Journey of the Silicone Split Cups:
Earlier this year, we introduced the Silicone Split Cups, designed specifically to enhance the bait-making experience by providing a simple yet effective way to create multi-colored soft plastics. The initial launch was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, and it wasn’t long before our first batch sold out. Since then, we've been hard at work refining the design to ensure that these tools meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
The journey of the Silicone Split Cups has been one of constant innovation. Initially inspired by silicone cups used in epoxy resin crafts, we adapted the concept for plastisol. However, the first prototypes had their challenges. The thin silicone walls required additional support, and not all measuring cups were compatible. We documented the trials and errors, shared our experiences with the community, and, most importantly, listened to your feedback.
What’s New?
So, what’s new with the latest batch of Silicone Split Cups? For starters, we've made several improvements based on your feedback:
-
Enhanced Fit: The split cups now feature improved geometry that ensures a snug fit in standard 1-cup, 2-cup, and 4-cup Anchor Hocking glass measuring cups. (Note: The 4-cup size is Coming Soon.) This adjustment makes the cups more stable during pours, reducing spills and improving precision.
-
Increased Durability: We've upgraded the material to platinum-cured silicone, offering exceptional heat resistance up to 450°F. This makes the split cups not only durable but also safe for repeated use with hot plastisol.
Why You’ll Love Them:
The return of the Silicone Split Cups marks a significant milestone for the Making Baits community. These cups are not just tools—they're an extension of your creativity. Whether you're crafting intricate multi-colored baits or experimenting with new color combinations, these split cups will help you achieve consistent, high-quality results every time.
Here’s why you should consider adding these to your bait-making toolkit:
- Easy Color Splits: Achieve easy color splits, swirls, and marbling without the hassle of DIY setups.
- Versatility: Available in multiple sizes, these cups can handle small to large batches of plastisol.
- Community Approved: Our design is the result of extensive feedback from the Making Baits community, ensuring that it meets the needs of real bait makers.
Compatibility Notes:
As many of you know, we initially aimed for compatibility with Pyrex measuring cups. However, the varying geometries in modern Pyrex products led us to focus exclusively on Anchor Hocking glass measuring cups for now. We’re committed to ensuring a perfect fit, which is why we've made this choice. Rest assured, we're still exploring options for Pyrex compatibility and hope to offer a solution in the future.
