Haha watermelon red flake is always a great color! Thanks for the reply.

Many options plain old distilled water would be the first but people use Future floor shine or actual additives for such purpose. for example I use 5601 transparent base often when using opaques to well make them more transparent. I use a home brew I found on the net it has ammonia free glass cleaner, water, alcohol and glycerin and it works well. 12oz distilled water 4oz denatured alcohol 4oz ammonia free glass cleaner 10 drops of glycerin

@ northsea Why do you wanna cast in a rigid hook ? Seems to me , that the loose connection between hookeye and cast-in wire hook(inside of the plastic bait)on the original lure is partly responsible for its outstanding flexible action displayed in that video . And why do you want to take cupped metal lips instead of plane ones like the original lure obviously has ? The cupped ones might only be harder to be fit repeatively into your mold , would even be tricky with plane ones . I have made a similar mold before , to cast a leadweight onto a plane piece of sheet metal , but made it from aluminium , by routing . Don't have any experience with molds of cement and plaster , but I am not quite sure , whether they'd be accurate enough to shape a slender cavity to accommodate that spoon lip ???? Well , just a few thoughts......! good luck , diemai
