Gloomisman Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 since it gets dark earlier I am going to start making some molds again. So I was thinking of gluing down baits and how bad it sucks. Then I had an idea. I wonder if spray adhesive would work. Any of you guys try this stuff http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=20157-68-7079800124&lpage=none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Haven't tried spray but Scotch permanent double-sided tape works well for me. I can usually only find 1/2" width but it's not a big deal to tape the entire mold surface and then stick down the originals wherever you like.

Richard Prager Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I use Gorilla glue and put crazy glue on top of that. Works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Gloomisman - I just tried the Elmers Spray Adhesive and it never dried under the baits. Did it Saturday and they still slide around today. Longhorn - when I tried the double sided tape it reacted with the plastic and the plaster didn't form a crisp edge. Have you ever experienced that?

tubinator Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Here's a trick for the guys that make their plaster molds in metal pans. Use a small amount of bees wax. Just put the wax into the pan, put it on your hot plate to melt the wax, before the wax cools put your bait in, let everything cool. I use stuff called sticky wax, which is probably like the wax they use for hot glue guns. I know this stuff won't react with the plaster! To remove it from the pan after use, just put it back on the hot plate to melt the wax and pour it out, wipe with a paper towel, and your back to a clean pan.

longhorn Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 The tape works fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Tubinator - what depth are you talking? Just enough so you can see it rolling around in the pan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubinator Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Smallie, yes. I made my first what everybody calls POP mold yesterday. Only I used the "sticky wax" and investment. I own a jewelry manufacturing company so I have 100's of pounds of investment in the shop all the time. I put a bread loaf size pan on the hot plate and melted the wax, added wax until I had just enough to coat the bottom. I tried this with 2-stick type baits, 2-spade tail worms,a creature bait, and a 4" worm with curly tail. Everything stuck down good, but I should have waited longer before I pulled the baits out of the mold (only waited 1 1/2 hrs). Next time I'll have more patience, but I really want to see how it worked out.Oh and I did spray the whole inside of the pan/baits with silicone spray, the mold just poped right out of the pan.
