jdoyle5599 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Built a latex mold for 10" flukes but the plastic is coming out cloudy in certain areas. What do I need to do ? Newbie alert !!!! Thanks for the insight...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm assuming you're talking about the flukes being cloudy. If so, have you tried using some worm oil in your cavities? Just a slight brush before pouring should make them nice and shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Either what als said, or it could be your plastic not completely changing over in some areas. Make sure you mix up your raw plastic really well prior to heating and continue mixing it while it goes through its different states during heating. Your plastic should be completely clear when up to temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigLewers Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 What plastic are you using? Bassin hit it on the head, sounds like your plastic isnt hot enough in a few spots or there is moisture in your mold. Be sure to wipe them down before you use them. The give them a brushing with worm oil. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1995 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Also, and this may not be the case, if you heavily salt your baits, they will be cloudy. If its only in certain parts, is it the bottom of the bait? Reason being, salt sinks in hot plastic, so it could settle at the bottom.
