Pop Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I am just pouring a single cavity mold, didn't really want to pour a two sided mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 pop I am sorry, I thought it was a two sided mold. I take just a verry thin layer of 100% silicon and put it on the bottom of the lure to make it seal to the bottom of the container. I have heard of people using petrolium jelly, or somthing else like that . I get verry little of the putty under the item being molded. Sorry again pop about the misunderstanding. Pop I am still trying to get a set of pictures done for the site to make it a bit easier. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Like previous posters have stated this stuff works great for both lead and soft plastic molds . All the moisture must be baked out before pouring hot lead though (or a hot lead explosion can result ). I had a mold crack once when I baked it using a heat lamp and I think one part of the mold was hotter than the rest resulting in some expansion stresses. Either using an oven or a lower wattage bulb to keep temps even would be best. I made up a three part mold for a Mad Man craw copy that is perfect.
