Usually at least a day between each step. Mostly because I'm never trying to get them out fast. Honestly it is probably more like a few days between each step. The polycrylic layer that I spray dries quite quickly. That one could be epoxied or painted over over in the same day. Paint too. If I paint a lure in the morning, I have epoxied them in the same day as well.

I did all of those tricks and my masters are glossy and smooth. One of two things was happening to make the dimples: 1. Micro bubbles in the silicon even though I laid a thin coat first 2. The soft silicon was off gassing possibly? the high temp mold Max 60 May be what fixed the problem OR it may have been that I laid down multiple thin layers so had no bubbles anywhere near the bait surface. nevertheless, I bought a degassing setup and am now making high temp firm silicon molds the right way. Molds that can handle 6-12oz of hot plastisol without giving me those dang dents right away. No more pouring recycled junk plastic through my molds for an hour before I get the quality I want.

Agreed with this. It'd try concentrating most of your ballast between the lip and front hook hanger. You could also try placing the lip more perpendicular to the body or the line tie under the snout. Good luck!

Well here are the results- degassed harder (shore 60) silicone molds will give you clean smooth pours every time and first pour. lota of people have helped me so this is my gift back
