First I know nothing about CAD. Second I would like to try my hand at it for designing lures. I make bass to musky but would like to try my hand at it and get a 3D printer. I am retired and time is of no importance. What can you suggest something for me. Make it easy too. Not the best at computers. Wayne

Mark Would pre-heating the PVC for a hour in a low temp oven would that degas the PVC. Wayne

Now Mark just what kind of cold weather do you get in Oakley, CA Try Wisconsin weather from -20 to 90 degrees. Wayne

Just when I am going to make a swimbait this winter this comes along, what a break for me and MANY THANKS for the tut. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!! Wayne
-
Thanks guys as always your help is appreciated. Now to the drawing board. Wayne
-
One more thing type of wood best. Wayne

I hope I am not on topic. I plan on making a sub surface jointed swim bait. Question is hinge type, fiber type, screw type or pin type. Flat maybe 6" to 8" one or two joints. Never made one yet but seems like a challenge. Any advice. Thanks Wayne
-
I would, since you want to stick with wood that you try Cedar and if you want then soak it with a sealer. Wayne
-
One thing that you can do is after carving and it runs like you want it to is to make a mold and pour them out of plastic then you won't need to many coats of etex on it. Wayne

Go for it sometimes trying to improve on one lure leads to another one that just might be a little better or different in action. Wayne
-
Why don't you just try Cedar or Maple. Wayne
-
Well back to Menards for me, Thanks Wayne
-
You can always have them chrome plated. Wayne

Here's a little tip on mixing epoxy or any two part glue. I go on my computer and draw different size circles two of the same size next to each other spread them out on the sheet so that you can cut them out into squares 3X3" or what you generally need. Then squeeze out to the circle part A on one and part B on the other, then mix, pretty darn close. I also print on some index or heaver paper. It works for me! Wayne I will have to try micro balloons for a mixer filler.

I have a 8 gal. on my outside back porch and ran a line down into the basement where I airbrush with no noise other than the air coming out of my brush. Now I will run a switch to turn it off and on right at my booth so I don't have to go to the porch to turn it off just lazy. Wayne

Making Your Own Aluminum Mold For Pouring Belly Weights
ravenlures replied to Lincoya's topic in Hardbait How To
One more thing different depths give different weights. Nice Tute. Wayne -
After I tested the lure I am going with the square which gives me a good wobble, and the desired depth I am after no more than 10' Wayne
-
I guess I should have said square. Wayne
-
It will be going on a musky bait in shallow water. I tested one yesterday and just what I want. Thanks to all for the help. Wayne
-
I know just search but am on my way to work so hope some one will give their thoughts. For shallow running 6" lure.
-
You can get a clear tube on EBAY, also you can use it for stencils. Wayne
-
Has anyone tried this Flex Glue that is on TV the stuff for gutters. It seems to work fast , I am thinking of using it on lips. Wayne
-
I pour white plastic all the time into silicone molds no problem. Go to the alumilite site for the plastic its a two part mix with micro balloons and you have a plastic lure. Wayne
