bassgreg Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I was going to do a resin mold this weekend, do I really need to super glue the bait to the bottom of my pyrex? What do you use to remove the old baits from the pyrex? Thanks, Bassgreg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I wouldn't worry to much about the old bait. A little acetone will remove the superglue. I would imagine the bait could float up and let resin get under it, if not glued. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeminoleFan Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Coley is right. If you dont super glue them down your masters could get moved or pushed into each other or float up and let the resin seep under it. If you use a glass pyrex baking sheet, just use a razor to scrap the old baits and superglue off the sheet. Thats what I do. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeminoleFan Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Also, If you let the resin seep under the bait, the mold will not be straight and level. And if your making centepieds (sp) they wont be straight or uniform. Trust me I know on that one. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeminoleFan Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 You could also create just one master mold, Then pour several baits into the single cavaty, then with the new plastics make a bigger mold. I have also done this and It seems to work out ok for me. Any more questions feel free to ask ! Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Thats exactly why you want to use super glue your models, they will float to the top or move on you as you are pouring the medium. Now some people will use vasaline or somthing close to it instead of a glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirmy Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Just lick them and stick them thats all I do. wash your samples in dawn and water to get all residue, salt etc. off the bait. Also wash your dish in the dishwaher and let dry, dont use a towel. Works 9 out of 10 times. When cured pull your worm out and take a spoon, screw driver, upside down razor blade or anything else that you can run clong the edges and smooth out the top sides.

kidlizard Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hey Bassgreg, If you are worried about the super glue, you can try double sided tape. I use it for all my plaster and resin molds and it works great. I use scotch brand that looks just like regular scotch tape. Good Luck!

bassgreg Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Thanks for the tips, I tried both the vasaline and super glue. I prefer the vasaline much better, the super glue did not let the resin set up around the edges and was a pain to clean up. With both methods I did have to do a little clean up on the edges with my Dremel. I did try one mold by pouring the resin into my pyrex pan, then gently placing my baits upside down into resin. This worked really good, it gave me a good sharp edge that I could scrape the overpours off with. You just have to make sure your bait doesn't sink to far in.
