ROWINGADUBAY Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I want to make a couple bull dawg molds from pop but Ireally dont know how to do the tail I would think if I cut the tail off of one I could mold the body in one piece mold belly up but would you guys just push the curly tail part in pop and let the plastic level off then trim the edge and melt the two together Thank you George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would cut the tail off find something that is close to the same diameter and thickness but solid. stick it up against the body.like a disk of some sort. slide the disk in the mold with the body on top pour the pop around it and walla you have your mold with that type of tail. The tail on those are unisue in a sense that it comes out of the top of the bait and curls foward. dont try to pour it as a curl tail cause its a pain in the but and just doesnt work, I have made tons of those molds and we do them as solids then use a cookie cutter to cut the tails out of the disk. then when you pour the bait you have a big disk on the end, either goto the dollar store and get a cookie cutter to cut the center out of the poured bait or cut it with sissors. alum cookie cutters work best. cause you can bend it to the shape you want and pop rivit it so it stays to that shape. one push and your tail is cut including the slot that joins it to the body.
