uttexas Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Just started making my own plastics a month ago, and this site has been a great resource. I am enjoying making prototypes from clay, odds and ends (wooden spoon handles/beads/carriage bolts, etc) around the house/garage; then making two piece silicone molds. I first experimented with POP and fiberglass, but have found rtv silicone to be more consistent when making a two piece mold. With the cold weather, and limited free time, I'll be making more baits soon. Here's a sample of some plastics I've made recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apdriver Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Those are cool. When I started, I jumped right into injection and skipped the homemade part. Thinking about going back and trying some of that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttexas Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Really enjoying the DIY aspects. You can end up spending a small fortune in tensile strength 30 RTV silicone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
