Painted my 6" Glide Breams in Crappie pattern -
Robalo thanks for the tip I never though of that, any tip on how to make a copy of the mold?
-
Anywhere I can get some custom made aluminum molds made for pouring urethane resins? The silicone rubber molds tare up after 25-30baits
-
Anyone use carbonfiber rod for swimbait joints? Wanting to know if the fiber rods will work with metal screw eyes without wearing out?
-
Had no luck finding the tutorial, is it the auto body bondo u buy from auto part stores? If so is there anything to thin it down so it can pour much easier?

Hey guys so I've had a few suggestions on here of trying the alumilite flex resin materials and I've given them a shot and it's not comming out the way I want it to, when the materials starts the curing process it creates lots of air bubble and makes my swimbait tails look horrible. I'm thinking of switching to different soft material, was thinking about alumisol plastic and adding hardener to get it to what I like, any suggestion on this?? Will the alumisol plastic w Hardener be strong enough to not Tare? What other materials in the soft plastic do u guys recommend me looking at?

Ya I think it's cause I've been spraying over the white base it just looks like white pearl after I'm done, looking for that solid silver pear

Hey guys I bought some poly bags in the 1.5mil thickness to bag up my hard swim baits thinking it was the correct thickness, but the bags are too thin, I'm wondering what Mil thickness are guys using to bag up their baits, 2mil, 3mil?? Looking for same thickness as the bags that the Huddleston deluxe comes in, thanks!

Thanks for that tip barrybait, this is why I love this site!! Very helpful people!
-
I will also try the Walmart epoxy and sawdust/glue tip
-
Okay guys I think I might have something figure out, I will try it and report back
-
yes i glue the ballast in then fill the rest of the hole with either bondo or solarez, sand and shape to baits contour i need something like bondo but stronger lol
-
I've been using automotive bondo and solarez to fill up ballast holes, the bondo does a great job because its thicker and doesn't drip so I can shape/sand it to match the shape of my lures bottom but it cracks fairly easy because the material is a bit softer leaving a line around the ballast hole, the solarez is a much stronger material and is rock hard when cured but it's not easy to shape it to match the bottom of my lures because its a bit runny, what are some of u guys using to fill ballast holes and having good results ?

tail is lexan for now, gonna switch to hard rubber -
the original was hand carved from wood and the replicas are made from urethane resins
-
Thanks for this reminder, I need to wear my face mask more often, sanding resin baits with all the microballons and resin dust everywhere can be lethal for your lungs in the long term, thanks Mark!

Thank you
