Two Part Pop Molds For Swim Baits.

[Husky]

I've made two piece, soft plastic molds from POP, sealing them with a 50/50 mix of water/Elmers Glue All.

RTV will work very well but is expensive while POP is next to free.

I needed to make the spew long and narrow and had to pour Horizontally rather than vertically, to avoid voids.

Here's a 4" deep bellied, flat tailed swim bait mold and pours. Mold is POP, sealed with Elmers. The mold has a nice tight fit and the pours need minimal clean up.

No problems with any of the pours, each coming out of the mold in fine shape.

Nice looking molds! I've tried a few two piece POP molds, getting better as I go. I was noticing your molds don't appear to have any venting. How does that affect how they pour?

Thanks. My spew is long and narrow so it allows air to escape as the plastic goes in. Zoom in on the pour in the mold to get a better look. I also made a large reservoir so the plastic has some reserves. I'll try to get you a better pic for that.

Here's a better look. I hope that helps. I add the spew Carve it) after I cast the plaster.
