trav Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 From the videos Ive seen and the links Ive read, traditionally when making a mold, you would cover half of the master with clay, and then pour the silicone on the other side, and then after its cured you would peel off the clay and pour the other side of the mold. Since I might not have enough clay to cover the entire side of the bait, can I use plaster of paris in place of the clay? Or if not, can someone guide me in the direction of an alternative method?

Slammingjack Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 First let's start with masters. If your master is hard, baked clay or whatever. Then your mold should be soft, silicone or whatever. A soft master, a bait you're trying to copy or unbaked clay. Need a hard mold like pop or DWP. BTW when I started pouring, I watched 100's of youtube video's and found some good ones and some from people who thought they knew something.

JRammit Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 yes, pop instead of clay works and is WAY easier imo! just make sure you pour the pop in a thin layer, that makes it easier to break apart for removal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
