Hoodaddy Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 OK Guys, I'm finally going to take the leap and try making some foamies. I have done a search and still want to clarify a couple of things.(which I probably just over read anyway ) Is it best to use a pliable mold for getting the baits out easier ? How long is the cure time before releasing the bait from the mold ? What is the best option for foam....micro balloons or not ? With the foam with M/B does this effect the texture much ? As it seems I did'nt do much research ( which I actually did...) any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No MB with Foam. 16 lb foam is to be used alone. Use Silicone molds with ample venting. Demold when the Mushroom on the vent is firm. USE Urethane Resin with MB over foam if you haven't bought the Foam yet! As it seems I did'nt do much research ( which I actually did...) any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....HD PM if you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KcDano Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I believe they are refering to Micro Balloons, Pete. Added to resin when casting to give the lure more bouyancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
