robbor Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hello, rob here. I recently made my own mold frame, kind of similar, at least in principal to the vulcamold. I dont know what the sold you exactly. You should use acorn nuts in about 10-32 size. Use plenty of mold release. If you force the master into one half of the mold before closing do it less than half way, if you go half way the lure will end up enbedded a little more than 1/2. Uncured silicone disks can be bought other places and then cut to size. Xact makes special blades for routing out gates/sprues. You will just have to make a few and see how it comes out. One nice trick is to bed the lure in abouy hale way then place a small strip across the hook shank where it comes out of the lure then put mold release over the whole thing as normal. When cured you remove on half and then cut through the silicone that is holding the hook and remove the lure, the outcome is a hook holder/grabber to hold it firmly in place. Let me know how the come out. I have made about 4 so far and have 2 uncured set yet to make. There is a pic of my frame in homemade tools. go_rob_go@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
