Scale/texture patterns for molds?

Recommended Posts

I'm working on a mold for a new minnow type bait, and I'm wondering if anyone has good ideas for getting scale patterns onto the finished bait?

Jerry, I know we traded molds and one of yours had a pattern that looked like thule cloth. Was this done by gluing the cloth to a solid master? Anyone else have ideas?

Yep, sure was.

Sprayed the scale netting with spray adhesive, apllied it to the master just like foiling a bait, then gave it a few good coats of clear acrylic.

mold as usual, just use caution when removing the master, the scale netting gives it alot more "tooth"

nice effect though.
