  3. "Anyone test I’ve resin against pike or musky yet?" I assume you meant UV resin? Yes, less damage then Devcon 2 Ton.

  4. Yep that is normal for those old molds. You see where the alignment knobs are . The divot on the opposite side can deepened Just a touch with a drill slightly smaller than the divot . Because all you want to do is let the knob seat a little further down . Then take a straight edge and run it cross wise on the matting surfaces . Mark the high spots . Get a diamond whet stone like you would use to sharpen a knife and slowly remove the high areas . A word of caution . Test the mold through each step . But it will never be like a Do-It . Just try to get the flash manageable. Then stop.

  11. It's really something you have to experiment with since everyone has their own idea of how much scent is the right amount and similar scents from different sources will have different potency.

  12. I just used some cheap “Lets Resin” brand uv resin off Amazon for th first time to topcoat a batch of baits and here are my observations. You don’t necessarily need a lure turner. The resin is fairly thick and I brushed it on with no bubbles using a cheap fine bristle nylon artist brush, which I cleaned afterwards with lacquer thinner. The resin did take some time to harden completely in a fingernail uv curing light box (also from Amazon); about 30-40 minutes, which is much longer than some other resins that can harden in 2-3 minutes. The resin was crystal clear, slick and very hard once cured. I was happy with the result. And yeah, it’s at least as tough and waterproof as epoxy.

  13. Hi my name is Nolan and I am 14 and this is my entry. This sail fish lure is one of a kind! It started off with three separate pieces of wood which were carved into the tail, the fin, and the main body. Then all of these were put together using pins and glue. After glueing it went to sanding, lots and lots of sanding. Next I sealed the wood and painted it however did not like how it turned out the first time so sanded the paint of and painted again. Then it was time to put the eyes in however I did not revive the ones I ordered from lure parts online a week and a half ago so I had to improvise, I just made my own. After that they were glued in and the bait was clear coated. However also in the order from lure parts online there were screw eyes and so that is why there are nails where they would normally be.

  14. You won't have an issue adding MF scents into your plastic, same with Pro Cure or smelly jelly. Generally when I pour, I get my plastic up to 350, then add colorant. Once it's cooled to 325 - 330 or so I add the flake and scent and shoot.
