looks greate. what is bondo? -
Thank you shawn. I have some more questions 1.It seems like the density can vary a bit depending how mutch you allow airbubbles in the plastic to expand is it hard to keep the same density on all the baits from one mold? 2.what clay shold i use when i make the mold? i heard some can react with the sillicone! 3.its sensitive to thinner?

Hi guys lurebuilding is my religon and i feal a bit lost so i turn to you for some guidens:) 1 what material do you guys use to make the prototype? 2 is the density of featherlight like balsa or hevier? 3 is featherlight strong enought to glue a screw eye in? 4 how do you build 2-piece mold for jointed lures? 5 is featherlight sensitive to aceton?

i used to soak my pike baits in boiled linseed oil and terpentine 50/50 mix but i experienst some problems with same wood bodies soaking up different amounts of oil = different weight. and some baits the oil leaking out causing bubbles in the topcoat. had any of these problems? now i use 2-4 coats of e-tex and im about to start useing propionte plastic as a primer just to be on the safe side! pikes rarely chew through 3 coats of e-tex.

i were looking at screw eyes at musky shop and the diameter was given in some to me strange scale. the numbers were 154; and 105; can some one tell me what this is in millimeters?

i have been making my own carnks and jerkbaits for the past 14 years . have in the past tried making sillicon mold for crankbaits. i know how to do that!! the plastic to fill my mold is my problem. i have been using a 2 component plastic with some filler material. the result was a solid sinking plastic crank with poor preformence. what im lookig for is a plastic that gives me a solid floating plastic body. that i can weight with led. does any body have any tips on material,web pages with info about molding ????
-
nice looking trout im in to that style of bait right now. curently working on 10`` pike with fins .

is there a plastic to use in molds to make floating crankbaits/jerkbaits?
