ADAM C Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I just started making a few resin swimbaits and lures....My baits don't seem to have any pin holes until primer is applied. They are very small. Is there any good products that could help me fill them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 If you are using a rubber silicone mold try this, spray the molds with primer first, I use metal etch primer, works great and no holes. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenlures Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 It worked for me just spray it light. It bonds to the plastic. For some reason the etching primer works best, and the brown helps in sanding the seams. Wayne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I typically cleaned up the spru and seams with a knife then just ran a little wood puddy over the lure with my finger tip. Can't even really see it is there. I then sand with 220 grit sandpaper lightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
