Ric670 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Can anyone tell me the best way to anchor a bait to the bottom of a container for pouring a mold. I have tried all kinds of the adhesives ie crazy glue..glue gun..elmers...the best thus far has been the crazy glue but at times, especially when I pour a fiberglass epoxy mold a portion of the bait floats...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ric670 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 This was the mold that messed up...as you can see one of baits made it unscathed....the other not so well.See attached...i hope it loaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 You need to wash the baits with warm soapy water and dry before gluing. Quite a few threads on this one. Do an advanced search on "soapy" in the soft plastics forum, some informative reading. Here are a few links: http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/16238-problem-with-bondoresin-mold/page__p__123200__hl__soapy__fromsearch__1#entry123200 http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/13769-1st-attempt-at-creating-a-resin-mold/page__p__102691__hl__soapy__fromsearch__1#entry102691 http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/647-making-my-own-molds-out-of-bondo/page__p__3674__hl__soapy__fromsearch__1#entry3674 Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
