bassnfool Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 How many pours, or what is the life expectancy of a homemade silicone mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Are you talking homemade or LC's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbor Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 the silicone mold should probably last forever if they are not abused or overheated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassnfool Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I was hoping that was the answer. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ominousone Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 O.k. I have no idea... what's 2part silicone? Also, I had terrible luck with silicone, maybe I was using the wrong kind of silicone. I was trying to make a fluke mold and all I made was a big mess and two empty tubes of silicone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charkins Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I used an LC lizard mold 3 years ago to the point where the baits were no longer shiny. I tried putting them in the oven and other suggestions that I received here on TU and from LC. I finally threw it away. However I did make a whole bunch of lizards. That was about all they would hit that spring. Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrawChuck Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I finally received the 1-to-1 (2 part) RTV Silicone ordered from MicroMark. Sitting here looking at it and I'm almost scared to try making a mold... Scared it will be awesome and I'll have to buy some more, LOL...I can make 25 plaster molds for what I paid for this stuff. Gonna try giving it a wood backing (the mold halves) so they're ridgid and maybe I'll use less. Don't know what to try first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
