Yes, thanks Gene. Found out today that the doctors can do no more for me. I have another strain of pneumonia. They are trying a antibiotic on. If it doesn't get it. Then its home with hospice.

Iam sorry,I was trying to explain how to make a one piece mold. Sounds like you are trying to make a swimbait.

I have poured many baits over the years and the learning curve was tough.I have tried everything.The best method I have come up with so far is as follows:A two piece mold is the easiest to make.You may use any type of wood for the model.Take two pieces same size including thickness. Paint one side of each piece black (not heavy). Spot glue the painted painted sides together,this will give you a good center line to carve your model from? Both halves need to be as close to the same thickness as possible when finished. Each outside must be sealed good to fill all Pores in the wood or they will show up in the mold and on your bait. Then wax both halves before you separate them. I use a little super glue gel to glue them together, about three places. Separation is easy, use a very sharp, thin blade knife. Nothing is hurt even if it tears a little wood from the inside it doesn't matter. Stay on the centerline, you will be able to seen it. More later.

Thank you for your reply.

Does anyone on this site paint with a Harder Steenbeck Infinity 2 in 1 airbrush??

I could be wrong and I hope I am. I think this whole thing was a sham from the git-go.

I use Alumilite RC-3 resin for my baits. I prime with Krylon white primer and paint with lacquer. Have had no problems of this type.

If there is not a lot more interest in the " TU get together " than there is now, Coley and Charlie will not be there.

Coley and Charlie plan to be there.

Contest was over on Nov. 9th. Who Won???

I will send you one Tuesday. It is really wild. Which Zip code 76039 or 76040 Coley

It will work perfect everytime if you weigh it out. I have been using it for years in the 4 oz. bottles. And I always weigh it out in equal amounts.

Eagle brand concrete sealer works great for this, even over paint. And you can dip it. Coley

Happy BD Nate!!

This is a sad day for Gene, Linda, Charlie and myself. Normally we would be on our way to Clinton, MO. Maybe another time?? Coley

Good job Skeet. I buy Devcon 2T here. Weigh out an equal amount into the bottom of a beer can and mix well, It is a lot cheaper buying it this way. And they have sales on it at various times. http://hobbylinc.com/htm/dev/devs-33.htm

Its been over a month since my question about a 2012 Get-Together. As there is no response yet, I will assume there won't be one. So, I guess annual is now, annual no more. Coley

A major problem you will have with urethane resin is getting it out of an Aluminum mold, even with mold release. The resin gets very hard and needs to be poured in a flexible mold such as silicone rubber. Coley I know this from experience with both foam and resin in aluminum mold.

With this tutorial, I believe I can do that. Thanks, Coley

Very good job on spoons and video.
