jigmeister Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I have been working on a molded prototype topwater bait using "Quick Cast" polyurathane2 part casting resin and adding micro-spheres to make the bait float . I need the maximum buoyantcy possible but was wondering if adding to much of the micro-spheres to the resin will weaken the finished bait . Anybody know what mix ratio is acceptable without compromising structural strength? I remember reading here about another 2-part casting resin that made a floating bait without adding any micro spheres but dont recall the name. Thanks-Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Moreau Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Featherlite is the one that floats with MB already added. I have found that 1-1 ratio is about all I dare with MB and yes for me it does weaken the bait. I also add cork to my baits for more bouancy but there are better methods disscussed here on the forum. I cant remember the thread name tho. The people may chime in but I would do a search for that thread had tons of great info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
