rico.29 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm looking for a trick to use less RTV in my mold, i wonder if its possible to melt plaster with RTV to make some kind of "past" to make paint a layer on the lure and then to complete with plaster over this first layer, this mold would have the specificity of RTV and would need very few RTV. hope it's clear enought to be understood. has anybody ever tried?

rico.29 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 You want to make some silicone molds with less silicone. How about just placing blocks and junk in the mold form to take up volume. and/or ... make your mold forms as small as possible for each mold. Hi, i already use less RTV than i used to i cut é pieces of wood to place the lure to make to parts mold. i tried plaster and RTV it makes a layer of 2 or 3 mm on the lure, i think this should be the best way to use RTV to make mold (depending of your master of course).

rico.29 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I tried a javallon 160 mold, it's a 2 parts mold, first part seems ok, i only use 50 gr of RTV + plaster to make this first part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rixon529 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Nice bait, Rico. You've been big on the Javallon for a few years now. I'll bet you do well with it. Someone else may have more/better info, but I believe Imakatsu's Javallon came first. Its patent dates back to 2005. Lake Fork's Live Magic Shad came after Javallon's popularity/success. So my question is - did the Javallon start in Japan? Or did they popularize an earlier European bait? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Yes , it's been a while since i fish with my own Javallon, i've published picture on "old" forum, but they disapeared. what's new here , is the mold, instead of using 300g of RTV, i only use 100g of RTV melt with plaster. and it pours great. i also have lake fork mold , live magic shad (all size) and live magic slug (which is one of my best lure), i've read that one member of Imakatsu'staff went for a fishing trip in USA and discover a lure (a prototype) of magic shad lure (size 4"5 or 140mm) and once get back to Japan, Imakatsu produce the Javallon 140, that i immediatly copied . if you look at Imakatsu JAvallon line, the 140 size is the only model which is different, 90, 100, 160 and 200mm size are exactly the same model. that's why i'm quiet sure the story is true.
