Hillbilly voodoo Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I have been using alumilite high strength 2 for making my moulds. It works well but costly and a bit of a pain do to shipping time what mould materials are others using? it would be nice to cut my cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Always used Smooth on products, Mold Max 30. Price....cheaper than buying baits. If I buy the trial size 2.8 kit and make only 5 molds from it. So I have 6 bucks in each mold. I can easily go drop 10 plus on a crank so price per silicone mold already cheaper. I make like 3 cranks and pretty much paid for the entire 2 lb kit. I can cast a lot of cranks in that mold before it goes bad. If selling then the cost is just passed onto the consumer (pennies per crank in reality). Over the years this topic comes up off and on and I think the take home message is no real big cheaper solution out there. Best price ends up buying in bulk. If Hobby Lobby close enough can go with the high strength 3 and use the 40% coupon if small quantities are what you use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly voodoo Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Will look into smooth on and were it’s available thanks It’s just my nature to try and to keep an eye out for the best price well keeping quality in mind. One of the biggest issues is shipping with the closest dealer for alumilite is in southern Ontario and I am in no where land Northern BC at the moment . 2-3 week to get it shipped sucks Not looking for a cheap solution just trying to see what other good options are out there to maybe improve my present situation Most of my moulds are also 1lbs+ each so it adds up fast for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
