How well does it hold up to high heat after an extended period of time? Im interested in trying some large production runs. Soft plastic needs in between 325 deg F - 350 deg F. Im a mold maker by trade and am concerned about your vac-50 breaking down after time....i.e. chipping and warping.

Thanks for reaching out and asking Ken. Vac-50 with it’s 50% atomized aluminum does a really nice job of handling heat, but I’m not sure it can withstand those constant temperatures. It’s rated for 250F but can take peaks above that. The only thing I could think of is that you could run some cooling lines through it. It may be worth taking a 5lb or even 20 lb kit and giving it a go. We would be willing to pass along a discount for you to give it a good evaluation and see what it’s limits are. Let us know if you’re interested and we can get you connected with Customer Service to get an order placed.

*It's great caught caught a brown trout on the first cast. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend if it was a little smaller it would be more effective for different species*

Do you all still make it? What's the alternative

How many molds that size could you make with the 5 lbs kit.

[@MakeLure]

Thanks for your question! In this video, it looks like for each pour, roughly .5lb of each A and B were used for a total of 2 pours - 2lbs used and 3lbs left. If you're looking to change the size of the mold, you can always use our volume calculator to see how much product you'd need here: www.alumilite.com/store/pg/12-Volume-Calculator.aspx
