  1. Has anyone ever tried using composimold??? I guess you can recycle the material over and over again. I am thinking about using it to make plastic crankbaits.. Here is the link.http://composimold.com/ I am really interested in finding out if its a good molding material.

    Mola Mola

    Looks like a wet rabbit.
  3. I am wondering about that myself. Where do you go to research whether a worm you want to pour is patented or copyrighted all ready?

    1st Soft Baits

    Actually I haven't yet for a particular worm I'd like to make. These turned out really good though.

    1st Soft Baits

    Here are some photos from the 1st POP molds that I made. I have 4 in paddle tail worms and my own creation.

  7. I experimented with the while kitchen and bath silicone caulk. I didn't mix in too much water so its still not totally dry but my bait pulled out of it fine the very next day. My suggestion so far is to lay your bait in and not move it because the caulk will stick at first. Then let it dry a good long time if you don't add a lot of water. Here is a photo.
  8. Mr. Bilky & Vodkaman do you have to put a releaser on the plastic bait your copying or not with fiberglass resin?
  9. Wow, I have been looking for a better sealer than what I have been using and I am looking forward to trying out your method on a really tough bait to copy. I hope this works out. I like the nice shiny finish on my baits. Hopefully I will be able to post some photos soon. Your flooding the mold description sounds easy enough thanks.
  10. I think that I may even try some marine carpet glue for making a mold. Has anyone else tried this? My brain is churning with ideas today.

    Paint booth???

    It would be even better if it had a still to go along with it.
  12. sounds good vodkaman. I am going to try and use the silicone 1st on a bait I don't really care for and see what happens. I'll try and post results when I get them.
  13. I'm also curious as to what type of paint they use on the soft plastic baits. Ex. Acrylic?
  14. From what I have been told is that fiberglass resign won't work for 2part baits.
  15. I should also mention that the reason I want to use the silicone for molding is because I have to make a 2 part mold for a bait with a lot of fine details. I tried the POP but I can't get a good clear coat on my mold and when I pour the plastic in it its sticking in the finer detail parts of the mold. If I apply more coats of clear it would only fill in the details of the bait that make it the great bait that it is. Having someone make a aluminum mold for me is way 2 expensive. Just looking for an cheaper alternative method to create my bait.
  16. I actually read that adding acrylic paint would help the silicone to cure faster but water will suffice. I also would like to know how the soft plastic baits turn out. I would really like mine to come out with a shiny surface. This is why I am curious about the silicone caulk.
  17. Has anyone ever used silicone caulk to make a 2part mold for a soft plastic bait? I'm wondering if the bait will release from the silicone without any problems?
  18. Thanks for the info.. I wouldn't want to waste resign when I can use in my boat. I would use POP but its a worm with a lot of small features on it and if I seal it it would just fill in. Who know maybe I can get it to work.
  19. I use Apple computers and never bother with the other PC's. They may be cheaper but there is a good reason why they're cheaper.
  20. I am going to make my first resin 2 part mold and was wondering what you guys use to seperate the 2. Would I just follow the same directions as the plaster of paris?
  21. I had a really great day catching 3 bass on my custom painted crank bait. Here is one of them not bad for a northern bass.
  22. Man I was just working on doing the same thing great job.
