I am hoping to come up with a cheaper option to Alumilite. I am prototyping swimbaits other types of soft plastic baits and doing a lot of testing. I will be making several molds of lures before I am satisfied with the design. Even with 40% off Alumilite can get expensive. I seem to remember seeing somewhere that you could mix silicone chalking and something like paint thinners or acetone (I can't remember what it was) which would give it a thinner consistantcy which allows it to flow better and pick up more detail. I was hoping to find something along those lines.

Looking To Have A Few Hundred Arky Heads Poured For Me
joelhains replied to black haze's topic in Wire Baits
Send me the hooks and I'll pour them for you for the cost of the mold! I am trying to accumulate as many different styles of jig molds. I won't charge any extra from the lead or my time. just what ever the mold costs. . Send me the hooks you want and payment for the mold and I'll do them for you. I have lots of lead. PM me if this sound good to you. -
Where can you buy mold making silicone or some kind of resin for making 2 piece soft plastic molds? I have tried the POP molds and the ones I did get to work didn't pick up as much detail as I would have liked. I have designed some swim baits and have master of them but don't want to have to ship the mold making material if there is something available locally. Does wal-mart, lowes or home depot carry anything that will work for this.

This sounds great! +1 on the YouTube video. I would love to see exactly how you are doing these molds. my molds never seem to work out right. I think I am just too impatient with them! LOL!
