QuickLures Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) I'm starting to make my own soft plastics and i have a few molds, aluminum and plastic, and I made a mold out of wood then coated it with polyurethane...turned out nice but the polyurethane isn't gonna last long under that heat...so i'm gonna try to reproduce the worm i made in that mold with alumilite. The top heat resistance i found on their site is 250 degrees. I know the plastisol is heated to 350 but ive heard of alumilite being used for forms. Will it Work? if you know of any other materials it'll be helpful. thnks Edited April 9, 2010 by QuickLures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickLures Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Alumilite regular-the first one listed on their "products" page. Comes in tan or black. Says only 250 degrees. Where do you get yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
