finlander Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 How does one do the eyes on a swim bait? The trout I have from Huddleston has eyes that are fantastic. They seem like the same material that the body is made of. Can a small mold be made and eyes be poured? then glued in the body afterwards?

siebler_custom_baits Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 You can glue in adhessive eyes after it is poured or even add the eyes then put a drop of plastic over them. Im sure that you could make a mold by simply drilling a hole into resin, plaster or whatever else you use for molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Also might wanna try the Pro Soft Bait Glue. Just stick the eyes on the bait, then a drop of that glue will make 'em stick forever. You'll tear the plastic long before the eyes come off.

finlander Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 There was a glue mentioned awhile back to repair torn plastics and such. I don't recall the name and was never able to locate a source. Might this be the one, and where can I find it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
