longhorn Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I made this mold in 1975 and it has not had any glue re-applied to the cavities. I dusted it out and poured these baits. Two of the cavities were damaged from improper storage but can easily be repaired with some more Elmers in the damaged areas. I sold these baits wholesale for 60 cents a dozen, bagged and labeled.

King Bait Co. Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I wasn't even born yet when you made that mold. I was born in 76 aparently 75 was a good year making things (LOL). Was that sealed with Elmers all glue or would it have been a diffrent kind of elmers back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I prefer epoxy to seal POP molds; I like the finish. (I'm not knocking elmer's) My first mold was made in the early 90's and the finish is still good. It just depends on which material you like to use. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'll second what Nil said. I made my first POP molds in the early 90's as well, and they poured fine right up to the day I sold them. I did coat them once or twice a year with Minwax polyurethane, depending on how often I poured that particular bait. Bottom line is they last a LONG time as long as you don't drop 'em. LOL.
