pieterbez Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for the video Do you know how long the coating will last and is it viable to use this method if you want to produce baits on a large scale for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieterbez Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Sorry forgot to ask if it will make a deference if you spray the whole mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groucho Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I saw this video and try this procedure. The first pour worked as video claimed the second melted the paint on the plastics and was not usable after that. I sprayed 2 light coat then waiting 2 days to pour. now I have 2 4" senko molds and a frog laying off to the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishn4fishn Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I use the 500° engine enamel from Walmart. Doing good so far. Like archery1 said get the mold good and clean and dry. Spray recoat in 24 hours and start injecting the mold 24 hours after the final coat is what I did. As far as spraying the whole mold one guy did that on a different form and just scraped out the vents with a razor blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainz Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 If the paint is coming off you need to use a higher temperature paint or put on a few coats. Make sure to leave the first coat for at least 24 hours, do a second coat and leave for 24 hours for it to completely dry then you should be right to start injecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete1955 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not sure what I did wrong ? I used 1200 degree paint cleaned my molds really good and did the brush and alcohol thing but my paint come off after a few pours. I did a coat then waited 24 hrs and did another coat. I don't guess I got all the oil out of it but I cleaned very well or thought I did. The paint I used was grill paint from lowes. I have used it on grills and it works good. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED ??

21xdc Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I find it funny that bait painters are looking for flat/matte finish for their lures, Yet the plastic makers want shiny LOL... Crayfish, minnows and all forage are dull, Not shiny... Look in any fish tank and see... I think if your trying to mimic forage the best you can, No need for shine! PS:.... Good video Edited February 6, 2016 by 21xdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 But before a lure can catch a single fish, it has to catch a fisherman. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
