PADGE Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Lads im a bit lost just trying to find out how you get your blank out of the mould once you have cast it. Do you just kind of winkle it :whistle:out of the mould. Im a bit unsure of the process so if someone could explain or point me to some info that would be great...

Kajan Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) If you do a search, there is bou'cou' info people have given. What kinda mold, 2 pc or one pc?? WHat do you use for your master lure?? I use wood my sef' coated with Epoxy. I make pans, screw my masters into pan This way I can use less RTV per mold. Few I just made after mold is cured, I unscrew 2 screws, pull everything out, and then take master lure out of RTV mold.

PADGE Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thats a deadly looking set up you have bro! Not sure weather to make one or two piece moulds.. I will mainly be making shads and stick type baits for sea fishing, what do you think I will need to do? Once the mould has set how do you get the blank out of the mould? do you cut it and make a two piece mould or do you just tweek it out and have a one piece mould.. this is all great stuff haven't been this interested in anything in ages, like I say soft baits are only taking off here, I have fished then for a couple of years now and know how deadly they can be, so the thought of making my own customs baits has huge appeal... Can you also use silicone to cast custom jigs heads from led? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) PADGE, When the people here refer to a one pc mold, it has a flat open side. The baits that come out of it will generally be flat on one side. The references to two pc molds are a "full round" style and come apart to be able to remove the baits. When you pour a 2pc mold you have to pour one side at a time. Do a search as this has a ton of info here about this. Good luck with your new found "hobby/sickness":huh:. Post some pics when you get er figured out. Zbass Kajan does have a bad #$@ set up. Edited November 11, 2008 by Zbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
