Hi all,
I have been using featherlite as a casting resin for a couple of baits now, but my latest set of featherlite had some aging problems and since there was no more available at the shop I bought some other resin (PU) that does not have the microballons premixed. So I did pour a testbait yesterday without the mb to see how it would work. And.. it works fine, the stuff is like water first couple of minutes so it is easy casting compared to the featherlite.
But I soon found out that as I dropped a piece on the floor it immediately chipped off a piece. This stuff is so hard it easily chips...especially delicate parts like fins. So I wonder if adding the mb would also strengthen the baits or make it less vulnerable to chipping on impact? I am working on a new bait that has casted fins wich are obviously the weakest parts of the model.
Thnx!
