That gold really shines...nice! -
Thanks for all your hard work @Curt - RI and TU for the opportunity! I always look forward to seeing all the cool creations that get entered every year. It inspires me to become a better builder and to pick up projects that I keep slacking on

Any time! Glide I could (kind of) help!

Not sure what IPA is...all I'm getting for search results is "India pale ale" Resin is pretty hardy stuff so long as there are no contaminants introduced during curing. Some tin-cure silicon molds produce residual moisture and alcohol as a byproduct of the condensation process which can inhibit some resins from curing properly. I'm not a chemist or material scientist by any means, but I figure cured resin is pretty safe to use basic cleaning solutions like soap on. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can chime in. Good luck and happy building! Dan

No need to seal resin, but I'd wait for full cure and prime before painting as mentioned. Washing fresh blanks off with soap and water before priming will also remove any oil or residue, promoting a better bond with the paint.

Love it! Growing up my go-to soft plastic was a little Zoom lizard...this reminds me of those days and would get crushed! -

Carved this little minnow swimbait as my first attempt at making a soft bait. The main body I carved from basswood and the fins were carved out of a lexan sheet. The bait features a slit belly and back hook channel to hide the point of a 4/0 weedless swimbait hook. I made a two piece silicone mold but don't have an injector so I get maybe one good pour out of ten haha. Enjoy and thanks for looking! Dan
