Brady Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I made a glide bait from scratch, carved from wood, made a mold, now pouring baits from resin. I've been using Alumilite Flex 70 for the tails and hate it. They tear up and the color options are not good. What are some of yall using for your tails? I'd like to have something pretty stiff and dries transparent if you don't add any colorant. Thank you for your help! Brady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Smooth-On has a ton of options, give them a look over. Great looking bait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Flex 70 cures to a light translucent yellow, not clear and colorless, so that is an issue for sure. What I am confused about is "They tear up". Are you sure you mixed it well. Both the A and B parts must be mixed very well before the two parts are combined and mixed. Part A and part B separate in the containers when left to sit. I found that out the hard way myself. Ugggg. Yes, Smooth-On also has similar products, but they also need to be mixed. Good luck in your endeavors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
