I personally spend a few hours just shooting tails. Lots of tails .. Package them up and set aside to have ready for when I do the bodies.
Sometimes its weeks or months before I use um.
The Clearasol you use to dip the baits will firm up just like the swim bait.. DO NOT pour it back in the bottle..After it cools it will be a chunk . Save it for the next time you dip . When ready to remelt cut it up into small chunks and add a little fresh to it and remelt then dip again.
just guessing but I feel face book has brought on a lot more bait makers and that means a lot more molds being sold ,, and putting mold makers behind ???
Just my thought .
