Is there a way to mold a specific lure (KVD bull worm)? I cant find any molds that are close so I was thinking about maybe plaster Paris but needs more experienced advice on the best way
-
I have hardener but wasnt sure how much to add to 4oz of plastic or when. I'm just going to get a microwave for the garage.
-
I bought 2 pyrex cups also to use the microwave but I figured the burner would be easier to keep an eye on the temps with. Only made one batch since the plastic kept dripping down the side and starting a fire. I dint recommend that method to newbies lol
-
Ok thanks. I figured the some was just from it getting hot. I stir it with the thermometer needle but it seems to jump around on temp since the burner goes on and off
-
Heated it in a bunsen burner and the temps would get to 320 then drop then back up. It started steaming and smelling burnt and now its yellow with a glob in the middle that wont mix in
-
I'm using a bunsen burner since I feel like I can monitor the temps each second til I find the right temp that works. I heated it to fast and it got to 370 and I poured and let it cure. They came out way too soft. Is that from over heating?

So I have my quart of liquid plastic, molds, injector and coloring along with the heating supplies. Can I just heat up the plastic and add color or is there something else to add to make it solid?
-
Awesome good to know. The plastic ones are way cheaper but I feel like it's for a reason. Thanks guy

So I'm about to start making some plastics and not sure of a few things... The first question is plastic vs aluminum molds. Is there a difference besides price on which one will be more durable? And the next question is about plastics. Is there a difference in brand? I know you can get soft or extra strength which will have less movement.
