The rubber would spread/flatten to much during the heat/compression process

Thank you Mad Moose I have been wanting to make a Spinner Bait mold Your video pushed me over the edge Thanks for sharing

Thanks

Drill hole on one side or both?

Watch this.

I just twist a swivel on to a .035 wire shaft

I have way to much Lure Making stuff myself. Thin your powder paint with a little clear powder paint Lightly heat blade - you only want a thin amount on the blade ( velvet look ) Fluff powder paint in the fluid bed, turn off air just before you dip Paint will flow in the toaster oven Good Luck

I think I used the WEY375 Wire Form for Do-It Molds on the Poisontail. https://www.barlowstackle.com/WEY375-Wire-Form-for-Do-It-Molds-P3409.aspx The Swimbait head I used Hammered Spoon Wire Form cut in half. https://www.barlowstackle.com/Hammered-Spoon-Wire-Form-P899.aspx

I agree his process was not as clean. Vertical dipping a lot cleaner, I make tubes for myself, I think he made them to sell? I have 4 tube molds, I make more tubes with my molds. I rarely dip. Glad I could help.
