IGOTWORMS Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 It should work just fine. Two piece resin molds are a crap shoot, i would stick to one piece with the resin. Plaster is the way to go with two part molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zbass Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Dubs Chops, Resin is what I make 90% of my molds out of. They make a great one sided mold. The only things you need to look out for is the srhinkage and the warping. The shrinkage is on of the reasons it is not to good for two sided molds. The warping happens when the mold is too thin and gets hot. I always try to make them about 5/8 to 3/4" thick. Also, if you plan on pouring a couple hundred baits at a time, allow for cooling tme for the mold as the resin smell will come out when they get hot. Hope that helps.
