    any ceramic supply house should have a sulpher free clay, you have to ask specifically. Or you can try an on-line art supply like Dick Blick (that is where I bought mine). Have fun!

    Ha Ha! We have a friend like that....he has at least 5 of EVERYTHING in his garage...had to build another garage just so he had somewhere to put stuff! And trust me, age has NOTHING to do with it!

    how do you paint from inside out???
  4. fishbayte
    nice! so how do you make these?
  5. fishbayte
    NO, dont do it, you will totally ruin your molds and not likely pour what you are hoping for! 275-300F is the temp for a sculpey type clay...and modeling clay will melt LONG before you get it poured! Lead needs min 400F to be melted!
  6. fishbayte
    So how did you make the "templates"?
  7. fishbayte
    then, in theory...icing sugar should work...hmmm

    Dont do it...so many of those sites have so much "extra" that you would never find out about until it was too late and had put your computer at risk! Far better to deal with someone who registers sites, builds sites, etc. If you can build your own site good, if not, there are reasonable folks that are reliable. Now the plug...my husband has been doing this for a number of years, and is very reasonable, can do what you need...contact me privately if you would like to talk with him...

    interesting...so would you use equal amounts of plastic for your swirled baits then?
  10. fishbayte

    Salt

    fishbayte replied to mark poulson's topic in Soft Plastics

    just wondering why not iodine sale? does it damage the baits or what?
  12. fishbayte
    Frank, where can I find your videos? If it is in the thread I have missed it...

    what about using one of those paint mixer thingys? That vibrate to mix...I think that would work if one could get one cheap enough, or make one, just set to vibrate periodically,maybe on a timer...just thinking...
  14. fishbayte
    OK, sounds reasonable daveh...so the LC measuring spoons...I am not familiar with those..what measurement would those spoons you use be? In case I have something that will work here...

    I understand that salt is an additive...cheap filler....I was thinking it would add a little more weight. Nothing special about what I wanted to use it for. I have actually never even SEEN baits with added salt, any of the fishing "holes" I have been to have not advertised salt as any additive, so assume it isn't there. I am also assuming that repouring would require adding something to the melted plastic/salt base? Like I said, this is new to me. I would prefer to NOT make every same mistake ever made in plastics history...if I can avoid them

    I am new to making soft lures...and like the salt idea for a few reasons. I was wondering if there is a recommended ratio for adding salt...I realize that there are different rates for different weights, but, for a medium size medium use soft bait, is there a recommended ratio or %? I hope to be pouring some this coming weekend...

    sounds kinda scary to me...I have always understood ANY metal will react, I have seen sparks in the past. I would think there must be a better way.... hot plate or something if using metal to divide a cup...
  18. fishbayte
    you made those with the divided cup?
  19. fishbayte
    I have seen double sided crucibles, for pouring...am trying to find them again on the internet as has been a few years since I last saw them...but am thinking that would be an easy solution to a 2 color pour.....
  20. fishbayte
    I see lots of paddle tail lures...how many tail styles are there? Is there any compiled list somewhere? Just thinking...(could be a bad thing!)
  21. fishbayte
    just a sillly question...what are the swirls? any pics to show what the end product could look like? I am new to this too...
  22. fishbayte
    I guess if you give a link to your facebook that would help...I searched in facebook and did not find your site...
  23. fishbayte
    I talked to them on the phone...I must stay, the guy on the phone did NOT bolster my confidence in dealing with them! Hopefully the company is more reliable then the guy on the phone appeared to be...
  24. fishbayte
    so where can one get higher volume colors? bigger than "sample sizes"?
  25. fishbayte
    I tried to find a video for dipping tubes, but could not...anyone know of one so I can watch the process? I am new to this.
