BlakeMo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Im going to start pouring my own soft plastics and was wondering if anybody has tried this swimbait mold and what all I need to start pouring. Im about to buy a quart of plastic and this mold 5x885 - LureCraft and was wondering if the 536 plastic was the plastic that I needed?

AustinConn Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Blake, I also was thinking about ordering lure molds from Lure Craft. Go to Hobby lobby and buy some Plaster of Paris. I got 8#s of it for 5$ and it makes the best molds in my opinion. Just pour a bit into a jug, then add water untill its a watery pancake batter. Pour into a frame-work, then press your lure into it. Wait 10-15 min and it should be hard as rock and your lure should have a perfect representation of it. I was gona spend 50$ on molds and I got about 20 for 5$ out of this jug.

AustinConn Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 It will have 1 flat side though, but you can make it so that it will look semi-normal on that side. On my sweet beavers I make the flat side the bottom section Lure Pouring :: IMG_4466.jpg picture by condude4 - Photobucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Blake, the best way to get started is to purchase a starter kit, they are relatively cheap and provide enough materials to get you started. For instance most kits offer 3 colorants to choose from as well as a mold. Lurecraft has a kit with 2 pints of plastic soft and medium 3 colors they choose and an RTV multi mold with 5 diff baits and Del's has more choice of additives and a CNC 2 piece aluminum mold. Do a little research and see what fits your plans. Also make sure you view both the how to video's and the do's and don'ts section here on the board the guys here put up some very helpful info there. Good luck let us know how you make out!
