D.Anderson Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I would like to add a plastic keeper to collar of a jig mold. Has anyone done this? I know I could use my dremel and grind away, but this is a favorite mold that I've previously modified and don't want to risk ruining it. Thanks.

Big Splash Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Use a very tiny, sharp bit and a steady hand. Have you thought about adding a slot to put in a wire keeper? It would be easier, because it would only require widening the hook slot. It does add a second step when pouring the jig, as you must lay in a piece of wire as well as the hook.

Celticav Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Just go slow and precise, you can use JB Weld to patch if needed, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkbait Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I have had very good luck using a sharp wood chisel. By making 2 small gouges starting with a vertical cut from near the back of the collar and intersecting it with a45 degree cut from the back oif the collar, a v shaped barb can be created. it is easy to control and doesnt need a haer just hand pressure will do i in the soft aluminum. Thanks guys. I am new to the board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
