Definitely option two outside in garage and do yourself a favor and purchase a respirator. Your brain cells will thankyou some day . I agree with the others purchase a walmart cheapo microwave. It is very addictive... Scott

I use Calhoun plastic and don't use stabilizer very often. I use it primarily with fluorescent colors and pink. Additionally if I have to reheat more than three times I'll add a couple drops to a 1/2 cup. Scott

Bobs Tackle Shack does have them. I emailed him last week and he sent one to me for $38.00 with postage for 2 cavity mold. Scott

Are you guys dipping in pots or pyrex? Scott

Once you catch a fish on a lure you made from scratch you'll be hooked!!!!! Have fun with it and remember results take a little time, patience and practice. Scott

Two piece stick mold was my easiest when I first started. Scott

If you are using a 2 piece mold overpour and just use a scissors to trim excess. Scott

This red shad stick recipe works for me: 1/2 cup plastic; 25 drops LC black; 1/4 tsp LC red hilite and salt to taste for top then on bottom try 1/2 cup plastic, 20 drops LC strawberry; 4 drops LC black; 1/4 tsp LC red hilite and salt to taste. It took me a while to figure this formula out but I like it alot. Hope this helps. Scott

Don't have a favorite color because I have enver seen them until I saw them on this site. Do they work in the southeast? How do you fish them? Scott

You can remelt the standard plastic lures. It has been my experience that some really stink bad when reheated. I never messed with cyberflex baits, they are made of a different plastic than your standard baits. I found each to have a little different quality than the other so I just quit messing with them. I now only remelt my own lures. Just make sure when reheating you go slow ie 30 sec increments so you don't scorch the plastic. Scott

Looks great Dont be shy with coloring on your sticks especially when you add alot of salt. My first few attempts looked faded/dull especially after they were reheated the color seems to dissipate. Now that you have done a double when are you going to do a triple pour? Scott

I purchase red highlite from LC about two months ago from their catalog. The only problem I have noticed with LC black more so than any other color is you need to at least double the amount added to get a true deep black. My main use for black now is to bring out the best in the different highlite colors. Seems just a single drop added to the highlite colors works wonders. Happy New Year to each and everyone Scott

Micro Pyrex Anyone that wants some Scott

Check out the TU Get together in the forum index area. Scott

I just let them cool in an aluminum pie tin then when they are cool to the touch I salt and bag them. If you are getting deformed baits then perhaps you are removing them from the mold too soon. Scott
-
I heat up my molds (aluminum) on a regular burner. Just make sure you don't leave them on the burner too long like I did ONCE :oops: . 'Tis the season Scott

I used to use Johnsons Baby oil but couldn't stand the smell :!: Now just some Kickin Bass. Scott 'Tis the season

You can use either one I prefer salt due to less mess. 'Tis the season Scott

When I first started I poured to one side. I then started pouring right down the center with a slow consistent flow and achieved much better results. Hotter plastic is easier to work with. Formulas=preference. Experiment with your formulas until you get a product you are comfortable with. 'Tis the season Scott

All I could muster before running out of wind :oops: was 297.8 and 203.1. Someone obviously had too much time alone!!!! "Tis the season Scott

Jim if you are still interested in swapping I have a creature mold and a lizard mold I would like to swap either for your 6" slithren. I sent a pm to you with my address. Scott 'Tis the season
