I have recently come into some extra space in the basement ( a totally divided work area ) ........i want a decent system exhaust without major cost . I am looking at hooking 1 or 2 of these up to one exhaust hose for plastics , lead and paint .....any thoughts or better ideas ? Its a master air brush system ,cost is $85.00 on amazon.

2 ??????? 1. I'm looking to do some multi color jig heads . Any info on what size tip to use on my air brush ? 2. It may not be correct but i ussually do a splatter pattern on crankbaits by opening the tip up and dropping the pressure and do a poking motion . how can i get a splatter pattern on jigs with powder paint . I read about a liquid additive .Can i achieve the same results ? if so what tip size is good ? ..its a wire bait question but the paint flows the same so ....

Plaster is not an option as its a baked sculpy proto an is semi ridged ......@smalljaw ......true that brother ...I 've been in the game for a while and have dumped my fair share of $ ( ha ....it prolly was a determining factor in her cheating ....another fishing widow ) just to make stuff I thought was good ......it was never a concern before when i had an idea but times they have a changed ..... Got divorced several years ago and am still paying my dues ...3 kids hitting college in a month and trying to support my second family . ....still love makin lures though and waiting for the quote of the new one to change from "oh ...that s cool baby , you have a hobby , thats awesome " to .." you are detached and hiding in the Garage " LMAO !!!!

The picture is deceiving ....it is only 4 inches long ..... any advice on the tail would also be helpful . I'm thinking paddle should be smaller and the length from the back of the body to the paddle should be shortened up .?????

Any info on this would be much appreciated . I have a large swimbait proto type that I want to eventually make a silicone mold for but i don't want to dump $30 bucks a pop in silicone til i get it right . It is a sculpy clay bait .Is RTV an option to make molds to get my set up correct ( plastic hardness and tail design) . If so , please advise what type of RTV and the process to make a mold . Im not really concerend about the looks as I will fine tune the looks before making the silicone mold .

If anyone would be kind enough , PM me with a little more info as to recipes .....any salt ? any softner ? Much appreciated

Any thoughts on stick baits with little or no salt for use on shakey heads ? My thought is , more action and it will stand up better .

Tried doing a search but nothing came up ....i'm looking at buying 5 gallons of plastic and M-F seems to have the best price . I usually use 502 . Any info on how this stuff is ? I usually use 502 with softener ...Anyone use M-F super soft ?

FYI .......I'm going to be making silicone molds

Tryin to get a really smooth finish on some clay masters I made , Any tips on sealing to get the best finished product ?

Some of the stuff I've been pouring this winter and spring , ......? is would ya buyem if ya saw them on a rack ?

I am trying to get a more durable wire weed guard for a couple molds ,the do it wacky mold to start ... the over the counter ones bend and deform after you catch a fish , I m looking at stainless spring steel wire from mc master carr. Anyone ever ever make there own wire weed guards ? what type of wire and sizes have you had luck with .Thanks

After looking at it ...it won't work with that mold .There's no space on top for extra pour hold space ...I did contact them about getting one made as a hand pour .thanks for the input guys

JSC. .....You would be correct. I have a Dels stick mold and it is a 2 pc hand pour and would like something like that Just for straight tail drop shot worms and have not seen any for sale .....the reason why is I don't have the cash to invest into injection production right now...injectors ...hot plates ...New molds ..... and also the time to become proficient at it ....so I am looking at starting to sell with most of my hand poured stuff but I want a full body worm ....I'm looking at modifying the 4.5 inch treat worm mold

Ok ...so I am a hand pour type person and looking to start production for sale and want a cleaner looking bait but the molds for hand pours are kind of limited , i see some injection molds i like so here's my ? has anyone taken injection mold and modified them to be hand pours ....just straight worm molds ,i know it wouldn't work on molds with apendages or ring worm type molds..... just straight worm molds .I'm looking at cutting the top off and dremeling a vent in the bottom for flow .any thoughts ?
