G Rider Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Just getting into making my own lures and this site is great. I have read eveything carefully befiore I started and so far getting some pretty decent results. my question is when i pour my baits I keep getting air bubbles popping up. I pour real slow working from one end to the other but I still get the bubbles. I made my own POP molds would this have anything to do with it? Also, my baits dont have that smooth finish do I need to seal the mold some more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing you mentioned that. I've always used a 50/50 mix of Elmers glue and water. I flood the cavities and let it sit for about 3--40 seconds then pour out into container. i repeated that 3 times. Make sure the mold is absolutely (bone) dry before sealing and and prior to pouring. There are other materials you can use for sealing, but that's what worked form me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
