Pickadoll Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have a problem. When I put coat on my lures it wont stick to the lure everywhere. I got so called (fisheyes).I think it has something to do with that they are not clean enough after the casting because of the release agent.I have cleaned the lures in my washing machine AND by hand before painting. I have primed the lures with two layers using Motip White base primer.It feels like they should be clean like a surgical hospital tool!!! What am I doing wrong?

gone2long Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Take a look under a magnifying glass it may be small pits in the resin, are you using micro balloons they tend to burst leaving very small pits in your bait. There's a thread going on about this very subject. Also do you have an inline moisture trap on your AB hose could be moisture in your air supply.

mark poulson Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Man, I can see that casting baits with resin is a whole 'nother world of potential problems. I guess there's no free lunch. Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickadoll Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I think I know how to fix this now. SIlicone remover or some kind of degreaser to remove the oils and grease from Release agent!Mark poulson, yes there is a lot of problems but a lot of things that is easier with resin compared to wood like weightning the lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Mac Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Let them sit exposed for about 2 weeks after you put them through the dishwasher. If this still does this, I suspect that the resin may be contaminated with moisture. I had some resin go bad, and the lures would start to "sweat" anytime I tried to heat set the lures. Additionally, the paint didn't stick and the clearcoats failed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickadoll Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for the answers! I noticed one thing. The first layer coat looked pretty fucked up but after second layer it started to look good and after the third layer it looked awesome! I think if I had some degreaser or silicon remover the problem will disappear totally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Moreau Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Dont use a release agent! I can still get 40-50 baits from a mold without a release agent. I had the fisheye problem too... I started using gloves to handle them and stopped using a release agent. seems to have fixed it for now. I have heard that a baby or talk powder can be used too. put it in shake around and dump excess out then pour your resin. Never tried it tho!

Pickadoll Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I only used the release agent once when I was pouring the Silicone to make the mold. Used it so the Master wouldn't get stuck or something like that.Yes I've heard something about that powder too! Maybe ill try that out!First I will try silicone remover thou.Thanks!
