    Is it still useable? If so, and you’re near Nashua NH, it’s yours, free.

    Adhesive For Foil

    Try laying on a thin layer of epoxy. 5 Min or D2T. Cover your finger with a finger from rubber gloves to apply it. Lay the photo on the lure and position it. Bullet Proof. Just my

    I'm happy that it worked well for you. Looking forward to seeing the pics. 1/2 round doesn't mean you can't get nearly full round, btw. Unlike POP, undercuts arent a problem. MP

    Just an update on the silicone. Walmart has their own silicone at $3. Ace Hardware has theirs for $4.50. Both work well.

    Try spray gluing the tissue to thin aluminum foil. Make 8 x 10 sheets and tape then so they can run through the printer. I had a tutorial on here somewhere.

    Here is an old thread that might help. I found the best way adding water is to use a spray bottle. Spay, stir,spray stir, spray, stir gets a real nice blending. http://www.tackleund... silicone mold

    Hey Gene, It's you that got me started on photo finishing to begin with. That's a good looking bait, there!

    While I can't say with certainty, It could well be Photo (tissue paper) on foil and finished with an airbrush. The foil seems be applied over mesh, ala Fatfingers technique. Whatever method the builder used, it came out great. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/12000-photo-finishing-foil-and-faux-finishes/

    I use the finger from a rubber or plastic glove instead of a brush. JMHO, but it's much faster and gets the epoxy to lay down very smoothly. In a pinch, you can wrap saran wrap around your finger in lieu of the above. You'll be pleasantly surprised how quick and easy it is and the results will be as good or better than brushing. I posted about it a while ago.

    The Local Dollar Stores sell a very flimsy foil. It's about 1/2 as thick as regular foil. It stinks for household work but is great for foiling baits. Handle it gingerly as it is really thin. Once you Topcoat it, it's fine!

    Nice share Mark. You showed the path, nicely. I bet a photo finish, over foil, herring on them would rock.

    Very nice, Patrick. I'll pass your thanks on to Lincoya. He was the 1st one, who I saw, who did Photo Finishing. I just tweaked it to get the image over foil. Keep up the good work and post some pics with a Big Bass, Man.

    IIRC, Creme was the first soft plastic company, here.

    No need to make it hollow. Just use a 50/50 blend of Resin amd 3M Microspheres (micro balloons, search TU for info). Much easier to cast and easier to make the mold.

    Foil ?

    Husky replied to BUCKTAIL BOY's topic in Hard Baits

    You can try this as a substitute to foil, for that shiny coat. Fast, easy and is bullet proof. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/20031-shiny-basecoat-method/page__view__findpost__p__149566

    Here's a helpful hint to get a bubble free mold. Cover your finger with a piece Plastic Wrap or anything similar and apply a thin coat of straight silicone onto the model then finish it off with the water blend. The moisture will cure the straight silicone but thatb should give you that blemish free mold. FYI the bubble blemishes can be filled in with straight silicone. Use the Plastic on the finger technique and fill in the holes, wet it down, and you should have a nicely finished mold.

    What are you "shooting"? I love outside the box projects. Please post pic if you can. You can soften up the Silicone by adding Mineral Spirits, (a few drops at a time until you get the softness you're looking for,) to it BEFORE adding water. It's a little smelly so let them cure out where the smell won't get you in the dog house. All odors will dissipate in a day or so.
