miles Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I am wanting to know what the best material to use to make a one piece mold is. im guessing for baits with low detail such as a zoom fluke, would be alright with POP. but what about a bait like a senko? you have to coat the mold with a sealer and the sealant would take away from the detail, right? also, if i do make a one piece senko mold, how exactly should i make it? just push it all the way in so there is just a little bit of it sticking out of the POP? any suggestions on these two question would be great. thanks!

nova Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 The best material is aluminum. As for the pop detail getting washed out when you seal it; I use several coats of thinned epoxy. Make sure the epoxy is thinned down quite a bit and you won't loose that much detail. It may take 3 or 4 coats to get the shine you need. Push the baits down in so that just a little is showing. After the mold is set, remove the baits and with a large,straight knife, level the top of the mold by scraping the pop. This will make all the openings the same size and a little cleaner. Trim up the rough edges and seal it. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
