I use an old butter knife to stir glitter into the plastic. The glitter clumps to the plastic on knife blade. I then scrape and stir in the glitter a little at a time. Another option would be to mix the glitter with a little raw plastic.

Here is an example of the RTV silicone that is being referred to: You can get it at Hobby Lobby. The cost of RTV "mold making silicone" is what has driven many to use regular silicone sealant (like you use to seal around your tub).

Water thinned Elmer's glue

Caney Creek will make probably make a 2 cavity mold, just call and ask. It says in the description that a 2 cavity tail mold is available.

The Azek I got from the "interior molding" rack was smooth on both sides.

What brand and for what usage is the PVC you are getting? My PVC doesn't look as rough as the PVC in your picture.

Those look cool. I have been using deer hair to make tails and they look really nice and seem to be stiff enough to help the action. Similar to a Bull Shad tail.

Check out the Alumidust product. Watch Larry's video it is interesting. I have not tried it. http://www.alumilite.com/ProdDetail.cfm?Category=Support%20Products&Name=Alumidust

I use corrugated plastic sheet. Cut it to shape/lengths needed and glue to glass or plexiglass. works great. I use hot glue.

I heat my salt to 350 degrees on the hot plate before adding to the plastic. This gets all the moisture out and doesn't cool your plastic.

Poor Boy's Lure Dye - Lurecraft has it

I use Calhoun Soft from Bears.

I use floured salt. I heat the salt to 300 F in a pan on a hot plate then stir slowly into plastic. Moisture is gone and it will not cool your plastic. Works Great!!
