patrick reif Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 i don't know why the link failed. the silicone is a 1:1 mix ratio. the price with shipping is $74 for 1 quart each parts A & B. sets in 75 minutes. i don't see a manufacturers brand name on the bottles. i know that doesn't leave much to go on. i'm carving a fat 6 1/2" soft jerk for smallies and spots, and i should be done in the next few days if work will play pretty. i'd like to set a mold soon. i may just order the rtv from delmart and be done with it. however, i'd like to build a big enough mold to pour multiples. maybe one cavity for my original, and 3 cavities for the case sinking salty shad with a firmer plastic in the nose and mid section than is commercally available. i love the case soft jerk, but i go through a pack to a pack and a half each trip. i think i could improve durability by doing a multi step pour with the belly and tail loaded with salt, and the head and back with no salt and a small amount of hardener added...we'll see. regardless, the mold silicone is expensive, and i don't want to blow money or waste time with unproven products. patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnie3035 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Dude, just buy a sample box of Oomoo 30 from Smooth-On. I think it is $22 for a pint of A&B. This should be enough to do what you need, if the molds aren't poured to thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Patrick, If you had read the Site Rules, you would recall that Site Rule 14 states: eBay & other auction listings are prohibited because they are "time sensitive". We do this because we plan on being around for awhile & its irritating to chase an auction link that ended & sold years ago. Circumventing this rule by posting auction numbers, seller ID's, etc. will be dealt with in the same manner. You may want to refresh your memory... http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/tu-site-info-updates/886-site-rules-you-must-read-before-posting.html Edited June 24, 2008 by Spike-A-Pike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick reif Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 i apologise. i didn't remember that. i'm just going to order the rtv with my other stuff from del. thank you patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Patrick, From what I remember of my old Air Force days on the flight line, RTV used to have an expiration date. A guy like Del is more likely to check the self life of the product he sells and stand behind it than some unknown entity on ebay. That could be the reason its for sale at such a deal???
