Thanks , gona look into that brand.

Basseducer, Nova thanks for the welcome. Nova By blood. I live in whats called Acadiana as you would know, from Acadians'. You would prob be one of de' few that could correctly pronounce my last name and it does end in eaux, and not Boudreaux or Thibideaux LOL. But up in Nova Scotia might be( eau'). My newer lures have evolved bou'cou' over the years. I only pour what I use so its all single mold jerk bait style, fairly large lures. Not ready to show my newer lures, but am also workin on 2 new plugs, but will show you a 1986 shad type lure and a 2pc swimbait lures. The shad lure looks like what they came out with Lunker grub. In 87 I made me some molds, but could not find any of the old lures, so will show you a pic of a lure in production that came out years later that is 95% like mine. Reason I had trouble finding some old lures, we got hit and flooded from Hurricane Rita 2.75 years ago. I have been remodeling the masion' since. My old lures are crude compared to the rtv lures. But they did work. Reason I use one pc molds is that we use bou'cou' lures in one fishn trip. I might go thru 50-100 plastics during a weekend, some times less, depends. So for me single molds were faster. Now that I see those melting pots with stirrers, kinda opens up many possibilities This is the production lure that is 95% like my 87 year lure. These pics are my first lures made in resin molds, single and double mold.

New to this forum, seems like quite a few knowledgeable people I have been pouring many of my fishing lures my sef' since mid 80's. Mostly because here I fish Specks and Reds, and we go thru bou'cou' plastics at a time. Back then we had trouble getting enough lures from suppliers to keep us in the colors we were catchin with. I make all my own plugs for my molds. Was no Internet then so had to learn purdy much on my own. Started with resin and then RTV. Just wanted to introduce mysef', hopefully will pic up few tricks of the trade and maybe help some others.

Thanks King, Yea I figured there would of been more people who have tried differant brands. Yea I use 10:1 ratio and Firm Silicone

Ma' I don't think you understand, I make all my molds my self, all my own designed lures, I was hoping some members of this forum might of tried differant brands of RTV to make molds from. Someone might know the pro's and cons of differant brands. Compron'

Hey, I'm new here, first thread on this forum, had a question to what brand RTV is prefered, and why. I have always used the one from Miniaturemolds. It lasts, pics up detail, but is kinda tough to mix. Was wondering if any of the other brands are better. Quality and durability to me would be a must. Then ease of mixing the 2 parts. I have been making my own molds and lures since 86. Started with resin then went to RTV. Thanks bou'cou'

I thought thats what he meant, if its a bon' mold, don't understand why take the chance of messing it up with modifications. Unless maybe its bou'cou' molds you want to modify maybe. Me I would just pour some new rtv molds .

I make all my molds by making a plug first, then making the molds. My lures with the slot are made into the plug, then it comes out in the mold, or am I missing something?

I am new to the forum, Hope this might help also, I do Simular to Delw, but dont use the yellow and blues. Every motor oil is differant batch to batch, usually too much dark green compared to other colors, so you always have to play with colors.
