I like it! But I think it needs more molds.

I would try to find a N100.

That's one big a$$ bass! WTG!

I love this site!

Easy two color to do hand pour, to me is a belly pour. Swim baits have a belly area. I used to pour 6 molds at a time all together would be 24-26 baits. By the time I finished the last belly it was time to pour the rest of the baits.

Getting hard, I have not noticed that. I use the 464 so maybe that's why. Makes sense if you're getting oil out of the bait something must be changing.

Yep Same thing. Baits after a few months will be very oily and smells in the zip lock bags.Dry the baits with paper towels put in new zip lock bags, few months later same thing happens again. More oil and smell. Seems to happen faster when it's summer time and hot in the garage where I keep the baits.

I used one called Now you're cooking. Not bad you can add pics. Only free for 30 days. Then it's $25.00. I didn't buy it.

Well, the pop smells better then the silicone. But if you drop the silicone on the floor it just bounces. The pop not so much. As far as the crayfish, I don't know ... try it and let us know.

Yep got a flake just like that. Made by using 1 tbs of 30 diff. flakes.

I have made 5 or 6 molds out of household Silicone. I used Ace Hardware cheapest they had. Must be 100% silicone. I used 1/4 tsp of water. The whole thing about the water is it speeds up the curing of the silicone. Also make it smell about 5x stronger. Will take your breath away. Make a mold box, I used wood. Make sure you have four sides, a top and bottom. Just use clamps to hold it together. I used clear silicone and add the water and mix it so all the silicone turns a off white.You only have about 10 minutes before it starts setting up. Spoon in the silicone and fill the box to the top, place your model in and place the top on the box and push down to help remove air pockets. Let it set for 2 hours. Remove the box and any water. Start pouring. Yep two hours and you can pour. If you get any voids in the mold, just mix up some more silicone and water and fill in the void. put the model back in and your good to go. The model must be sealed and if it's shiney. Your baits will come out shiney

Yeah MF does get oily over time. Sounds likes this stuff gets oily right away.

I used wooden dowel. Helps to round over the end. Better paint coverage Use a round wooden toothpick to dot the eyes.

Yes the stuff ain't good for you. Fans, open windows. open outside doors and respirator. That's what you need.

Well now that's a good price.

Wow they really like their plastic. $280.90 for 5 gallons! That's what over 2 times more then anyone else. lol Sorry i'll pass on that.

Got me why it's doing that, I have 4 of them and all the plastic peels out in one piece

Hard to get a hand pour not to have a flat side. Takes some time to get good at hand pouring. Injection is easier and faster, but costs a lot more. The whole I want to pour nothing but Senkos....lol good luck with that.

If you have a bait that big and are just making for yourself. Make a two part pop mold.

The newer Lee pots get hotter then the older ones. I got mine last year and set mine to 5.5.

First let's start with masters. If your master is hard, baked clay or whatever. Then your mold should be soft, silicone or whatever. A soft master, a bait you're trying to copy or unbaked clay. Need a hard mold like pop or DWP. BTW when I started pouring, I watched 100's of youtube video's and found some good ones and some from people who thought they knew something. You can learn everything you need to know by reading posts on this site.

Picked up two molds with the 20% off saved $30. Sweet! thx for posting this.

I have two fluke mold from LC. There is two ways to pour this thing that I know of. Start at the tail and pour to the front. I pour from the front to the back. Use a very small stream and fill very slow. Make like a wave and very slowly push the wave to the tail. Take your time. Good luck.

I always like MF plastic. Their colorant not so much. I get that from LW, best I have found.
