Hello I think I have found a good way to put screw eyes in a cast mold but I don't think it will work because of the threads on the screw eyes... I was going to jb weld a nut on to the end of a screw eye and then cast it into a mold but I don't think the threads are the same.and I was thinking about using something like the second pic but I don't know if they make them that small. Any ideas? or am I over thinking it I don't want my eyes to fall out haha.

Hi All, New guy here... I've been messing around with Alumilite products for the last couple of years and having a blast. Just upgraded my airbrush and I'm excited to hit the shop this weekend and tinker... I made a silicone mold of a favorite jerk-bait and I've been casting with Alumilite White and micro-balloons, keeping track of my recipes along the way to try and perfect the elusive suspending bait. I've been making my own wire harness for all of my solid-body baits - a single piece of wire from tip-to-tail. My theory is why temp fate with screw eyes, but maybe I'm over-thinking? The store-bought version I was templating had its tail eye pop right out of the plastic with hardly any force - I was quite shocked at how easy it did so, adding fuel to my theory about through-wire frames. It makes balancing the lure more difficult, but is worth the effort? Anyone have any anecdotes about their screw eyes? Any colour suggestions for the diving lip? The Alumilite seems to be as strong as the original clear lip, but I wonder if anyone has suggestions for painting the white lip. My first instinct is blood red...? Thanks!

I'm very new to the making your own lures thing so I don't have much experience. I am wondering how well super glue holds in screw eyes. It seems like some sort of epoxy is the best but I didn't have any on hand and all I had was some super glue. Has anyone else had any experience using that instead of epoxy? Any help would be much appreciated.
