Gloomisman Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 down lures to a container to copy them. I have some liquid silicone/hardner that I want to copy some drop shot worms and craws. The problem is I have 1 shot at this and I cant afford to screw it up. I've been just supergluing them to a rubbermaid container for the POP mods but the DS worms seem to always break loose and come to the top or suspend in the mold. I'm wondering if epoxy would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I use a flat metal pan and super glue. You can get cheap pans at any dept store but the botom has to be flat. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson06 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I used super glue and a metal baking pan (check the dollar stores). I bought the super glue bottle that comes with a brush. In my opinion, the brush makes the process much easier. When I pulled out the Durham's mold, the baits were still firmly glued to the bottom of the pan.

charkins Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Two things work for me. I use the Super Glue Gel and sometimes I use some 2 part epoxy glue. A little dab will do you on the epoxy. I also use throw away plastic pans like rubbermaid meal containers, sandwich containers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHBAITMKER Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have Tried Gm GMS Silicone. Let Dry 24 Hrs And It WIll Hold The Baits Down To The pan. GMS Can Be Bought At Any GM Dealer. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassn1 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I use plain clear silicone, just put a dab on your finger and spread a thin layer across the bottom of the bait. It works really well on small appendeges. I never had a bait "float" yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAssKickin Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 What type of surface is best for glueing your bait to??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassn1 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I use a 5 or 6 x 9 metal pan. (Not one with a non stick coating). That way all my molds are the same size for easy storage. If I forget to clean the silicone out and it hardens in the pan then all I have to do is put a metal brush on the drill and clean it out.

jmik26 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Use a hobby CA glue with activator, that stuff will glue a greasy french fry to a piece of aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 The Dollar Store and super glue gel work for me. I figured if it glued the baits to a lead jig, why not flat steel. Sometimes the oil on bait slows down the set so place the bait and leave it there for 5 or 10 minutes. Also, thin baits can stretch so be careful not to elongate the bait while smoothing it or straightening it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I've been gluing them to a rubbermait container. It works the best. the al. pans are to difficult to mess with and not bent them. I like the silicone idea. The super glue gel I've had some sucess with it but it wont work on small appendages like craw legs to well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdomina Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I use the locktite brand glue and it will hold down your "masters" in a matter of seconds if a little pressure is applied... If need be. I was having problems with a certain part of a few baits holding well with offbrand and even the regular superglue brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire-Fly Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 The best stuff to use is "Pro's Soft Bait Glue" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 First I wash the lures in detergent to remove the oil, then cover whatever surface you're sticking your baits to with Scotch permanent double-sided tape (it's not really permanent in this situation). I've found this to be quick and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Longhorn - where have you been. Two great tips. I never thought of the tape but I have some double-backed tape I use for golf grips. I am going to try this tip. Thanks! Any more great tips would be greatly appreciated.
