Vodkaman Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Welcome Bigbass73. A plethora of information on your chosen subjects is available here on TU. A good place to start would be the member submitted tutorials. After you have read those, try using the search function by typing in a few key words like: mold, plaster, pour, vent, bubbles, rubber, RTV, POP. If you can't find what you are looking for there, why not post a question or two. Ask specific questions rather than broad questions like 'how do you pour plastic worms'. You will be an expert in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Welcome to Tackleunderground.com Bigbass73. Vman and Nova gave you the low down on getting started and as you start your research, take the time to understand the safety aspects that need to be addressed in this hobby. If your planning on pouring a hundred baits a year or a million, failure to keep your mind on what your doing the entire time can make some dramatic changes on you ~ literally! Burns and scares will occur; you need to develop habits and procedures in your working space to eliminate as much of those risks as possible. There was a thread started by Bountiful Waters titled Another Warning...SLOW Down. I would take a few minute to read it if you haven't already. To that list of equipment your going to start putting together, you may want to add leather gloves, Lexan face shield, and a few other items like a fire extinguisher, before you ever start cooking that first cup of plastic and or lead. Welcome aboard and I look forward to seeing your pours in the gallery. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
