Awesome tips... Thanks!

Killer .... These all seem to be good ideas. Hopefully I can get a consistent method worked out. Thanks !

Great ideas. Painting the sides first ... Genius... I wish I'd thought of it. I'll try it. Thanks Dave !

Hi, I just started trying to pour resin baits and have had various results with the amount of bubbles in them. Since I'm not using a pressurized system, and can't afford one, I'm just looking to get the best results possible from a standard pour. I've seen a few tips here and there, but nothing contained all in one thread , And not all that much information in general on reduction. I've tried warming the silicone molds, been as careful as possible with mixing the two part epoxy resin, just trying to be as consistent as I can, and still have had varying results. Anyway, what are some of the ways that you have reduced bubbles in your Resin pours ? Also, what type of resin are you using? Have you noticed any particular brand or model pours more consistently or with less bubbles? Thanks !!!

Great info! Thanks BobP

Nice !!! I'm not familiar with the Glonation paint. I have been looking at trying the Faskolor Glow paint ... Any experience with that ? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDEP1

Nice !

I'm very much the same way. I've always been into building things (though I'm a musician by profession). It's always fascinated me to find out how things are made... and of course I always assume I can improve them !!!

Too cool . Funny what we do "just because we can". (Not because we should !!!) I don't suppose you have a photo ?

Have you ever built a fishing rod with found or oddball materials? If so, I'd love to see it.....please share !!!! I had some free time, and so I built this rod... Mostly just to try my hand at seeing how a rod. goes together so that maybe in the future I'll build a nice one. Anyway, zero dollars spent. All repurposed/found/etc items *6' bamboo plant stake *stainless steel wire for string guides *wine corks for handle *line guides are threaded and then epoxied Anyway, it actually doesn't feel too bad. I might try building a simple reel to attach to it just for fun. The
