Jigsbydirk Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Has anyone ever tried to modify a one sided plastic mold? I was thinking of cutting one to shorten the bait and uising a heat gun to weld it back together. Do you think the mold would weld? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman843 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 lure craft can make any mold you want if you can make a lure that you want you can call and ask them they will help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsbydirk Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 so I need to make a "prototype" for them to pattern a mold off of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texascrappiefisherman Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Dirk, If you need a prototype I would recommend POP. We made a mold from it and it works great. We are currently working on a design for the next one. Unless you are doing major production POP molds work really well. Did you see the RTV mold that Mike Simpson had at Crappie Camp? He makes lots of baits with it. I would be concerned about the weld holding when you put hot plastic in the modified mold. Just my two cents.
