kbiddle Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Guys, Has anyone attempted to do a resin mold of the ever popular Beaver? I am considering doing one for the smaillie and just would like to get your all feedback? Thank in advance. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuMMeRBaits Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I was going to, but I hate those flappers so much, I cut them off put on some parts from another bait and now I have what I call my split-tail vibra-craw, and have caught more on it that with the one with the regular flappers, will be puttin up a post of it in the picture area either tonight or tommorrow.

Mike Poling Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I did resin molds for the small & medium sizes. The results weren't that great. Had the same problem geting the whole flapper to come out. I even got out the dremel & opened them up some, helped a little but not enough. As was statted earlier I think the problem is air trapped in the rib of the flapper. I was thinking of drilling a small hole from the side into the flapper to see if that helped just haven't done it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I made a few out of water putty. The advantage is that I can take my dremel and bore out the cavity and flaps. Worked pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbiddle Posted April 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Actully I discovered the same thing... But I also discovered in the resin mold if you come in from the top with like a 1/32 or so drill and go down to the flap cavity it seems to give the air someplace to escape and helps the flap come out much better....

earthworm77 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I was wondering about that as I have a couple of the smaller 3.5" L/C molds and wanted to attempt that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
