Have used JB weld on a few molds for mods like this "one side at a time ". I will mix up a small amount of JB weld and apply it to the area being filled then scrape the mold face flat surface with the side of a wooden popcycle stick so the JB weld it is flush with the mold face . I let it start to set up set a little so it forms a skin on the surface but still soft . Use a release agent on your hook and or keeper and press them into the still pliable JB weld so 50% of the hook /keeper diameter is above the mold face . They should come out easy when fully set up. There can be a small ridge of JB weld along the hook outline and I sand this off with sandpaper afterwards so the mold face is flat (you can probably get away with pressing the "keeper" fully into the JB weld if you want since it typically has a smaller diameter than the hook wire and just modify one mold half (instead of both) and then carefully remove the keeper when done with a small pick or dental tool.) When you go 50/50 with the imprints on each mold half I like to close the mold up after doing the second half but while the JB weld if still pliable to make sure the alignment is correct . Release agent is critical if you do this step . Right or wrong that's how I do it .

Many different airbrushes, I like Iwata brand. SB Coat paint from Lure Works. This is a solvent based paint designed for soft plastic baits. This is important, get a good paint respirator rated for organic vapors from solvents. If you can't afford a paint booth rated for flammable materials, paint outdoors or in a well ventilated area. This type of paint is very bad for your lungs and is flammable. Don't half ass the safety precautions. Some people use water based paints and then dip in clear plastisol, I've never tried it.
