atijigs Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 The name is Larry Dahlberg. He knows his stuff. I have not used either product but many here have. They will help you with info on price. I believe his web site is Make Lure.com or something to that effect. He has several youtube vids as well.

gone2long Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah if I remember right he made a plug with it, you may try searching the hard bait forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Try doing a search for Allumilite or Larry Dahlberg. There's tons of info in the archives. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnerator Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks for the help guys,I was thinking more along the lines of the liquid he poured over the two swim baits to create the mold and then poured two different colors of something into that mold after it had hardened into a flexible rubber block and after that cooled he removed the two swimbaits he made.

squigster Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 What you are referring to is a silicone mold. You can buy it online and in most hobby stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdL Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yep Silicone Rubber mold. It can get expensive compared to POP or bondo. Then there are different types of silicone mold materials. Do yourself a favor and do an internet search for Silicone Rubber mold making and learn about it. It's a whole 'nother world to explore.

rixon529 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Make Lure ("easily mold & cast your own fishing lures") web site = http://www.makelure.com/ This site offers Alumilite products (including plastisol and silicone) and has video tutorials (how-to's) by Larry Dahlberg. Make Lure is a division of Alumilite Corp. which is based in Kalamazoo, MI. Although I've never used them myself, from what I've read on this board, there are several satisfied users of Alumilite products. I've compared their web posted plastisol and silicone prices to other suppliers and consider them to be mid-range (meaning not the lowest or the highest priced).

Fishoey Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 The RTV silicone (Stands for Room Temperature Vulcanization), is a cool product. I have used both RTV and Alumilite Resin for projects. There are different types of RTVs out there. Watch out because the low cost RTV can be poor quality. I believe there are different degrees of density between RTV silicones. Don't quote me on that, because I am not a chemist and will never claim to be. A cool tip to get the air bubbles out is to purchase a vacuum sealer (food saver) and a square dish (designed for the vacuum sealers). Pour the RTV in the dish, put the top on the square pan/canister and start it up! Be careful not to fill it up more than half way. You don't want to suck RTV in the vacuum line. It is a pain to get out (I know first hand). Also, if you don't need the whole canister filled with RTV (you probably won't) use clay in the empty space to make a smaller mold inside the pan. Good luck with your projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshunter5 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Just a for your info. But hobby lobby had the amazing casting resin for 5$ less than what I paid for it on alumilites site and I didn't have 2 pay shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
