G D Beck Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Hi folks, I was shopping on Lureworks and saw their product called Gel-A-Lure™ 4504. They only say "Gel-A-Lure™ is a new gel formula for making multi-colored lures using a cold pour process. This allows you to make a lure with dozens of colors and unlimited pouring time." Has anyone used this process? How does it cure? Does it use the same pigments as plastisol? I can't find much about it. If anyone likes this process for a particular lure advantage, would enjoy hearing about it. Cheers & good fishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I wonder if you can cold pour color patterns and what not and then fill it in with hot plastisol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G D Beck Posted March 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hi Fern, Got some additional info from Lureworks. It's totally a cold pour approach. Layup your layers, suspend whatever in the gel-a-lure, and then bake in a convection over at 340 - 350F. Josh (LW) said it scorches easily and is difficult to work with after heating. So cold at every stage but the bake. That's my limited understanding. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When its hot it gets even thicker than when cold so it isnt easy to work with when hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G D Beck Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Hi McLuvin, So, it seems you have worked with the gel-a-lure? Are the results of the cold pour worth the effort? It appears it's mostly a way to suspend particulate and/or use lots of color layering. I like the baits I'm making with up to 4 layers, but love experimenting. Also wonder if gel-a-lure is this thick, does it produce a stiff bait or affect the action in the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
