Terrydabassman Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Have any of you foam lure makers ever tried putting foil in the molds before pouring the foam? Thought being, a foiled bait bonded right in with the foam? Might be an idea worth trying or forgetting about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Well, Terry, I did think about it at one time. But, the way I pour a foam bait it would really be tough to do. I only pour half of the mold, then place the other half over the first and clamp. I then rotate the mold 360 deg. in end over end and side over side movements. I just can't see the foil hanging in there. Unless you can cover the entire mold in foil, which may be possible. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 A lil off topic but.... I do remeber that if your casting featherlight or similar urethane plastic in an RTV silicone mold, you can spray the mold halves with primer before casting & the urethane body will come out of the mold pre-primed. You'll probably still want to clean up the body before painting to remove any residual silicone oils. I thin the foil idea could work, with enough trial & error, shoot, with enough extra flashing, you might not even need a mold release on the bondo & putty molds you guys been havin success with. if anyone tries it, keep us posted.
