basskat Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Wonder if you'd come up with a mold full of scales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDW Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 DON'T use a shad. After a few ....well too many adult beverages me and a buddy decided to mold a shad in fiberglass resin. BIG mistake. It took 2 weeks for the smell to go away from the shop. The resin actually cooked the shad. Needless to say we never checked to see if it left a useable cavity.

Big Splash Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I haven't done this yet, but have given it some thought. Use plaster and some type of oil as a mold release. It shouldn't be that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
