finlander Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 I made a small lure last year from a 'wood' master. What other material could be used? Plaster or styrofoam? A firm foam coold be shaped/sanded, but would it need to be coated/sealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 You can use Sculpey clay (bakes in the oven) to make a firm , re-usable form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 It is good for small items, but, mine is to be at least 20" long. Wood I can sand, but I was looking for something easier/quicker to shape. A dense styrofoam perhaps, then coating it with something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Check around some taxidermy shops or sites, some do carry a rigid foam that you can carve. I have no experience with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
