Jig Man Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have some baits that I would like to use to make a bondo mold. The glue I normally use won't stick to them. I have tried contact cement and it won't dry on the baits. I make molds in a non stick pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I would also like to know.That type of non stick surface will be a challange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 bojon I have used this pan for several molds and most baits will stick to pvc cement but these babies seem to have an oil of some type imbeded in them. They won't even stick to double sided tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 What about an adhesive caulk? If it works, the trick will be to keep it thin as to not comprimise the bait shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't even stick to double sided tape. How about cleaning most of the oil off the bottom surface of the bait with acetone, then apply the glue of your choice?

bojon Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 They must really have a oily surface.I thought it might be the pan it's self.I use rubbing alcohol to remove the oils from my tubes when I paint them.Acetone should be better.How about putting them on a shop cloth(paper one),or paper towel and place in the sun for a day.That my push out some of the oils.

Jig Man Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 OK I'll put them in the sun then use acetone on them when I get up from my nap. I can barely type from fishing all night last night. Thanks for the ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdsaw Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Have you tried superglue? If you don't want to use such a permanent glue on your pan, you can superglue them to a piece of sheet metal or plexiglass and lay that on the bottom of the pan.

Jig Man Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well I put them out in the sun for several hours, wiped them off and put them in a pan of acetone. We are in a remodel from a tornado which hit our house and the siding contractor saw me and asked what I was doing. I told him and he suggested a silicone caulk. I put that in the bottom of the pan and pressed the baits into it. I checked it late last light and the baits were setting on it but not adhered to it so I guess I'll try that super glue today.

Jig Man Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I bought a new pan today, not a stick free, I cleaned the pan with acetone and tried superglue gel and Crazy glue. Neither would glue them down. I guess I'll give up and try some custom color orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
