tylerd1994 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Can you spray paint on a pop mold to make the baits come out shiny or do you have to use laquer or epoxy. If you use epoxy how much do you put on the mold:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylerd1994 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 which is better resin or rtv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajan Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Both are good. RTV is flexable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbor Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hey Tyler Use Elmer's glue mixed 50/50 with water, paint your mold it let it dry and repeat 2 or 3 times, works great!! Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man 26 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ditto to Macbor- Elmers/water - 50/50. Of all the sealers Elmers glue all is the the best that I have used. Longhorn posted some great info on this subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 High heat spray paint (grill, engine block) will work to seal your molds. I have used it on many pop molds. Downside... Some of your detail will be lost as you need to use several coats. You also will have to wait at least 48 hours for drying before using the molds. A good side is that you can use different colors for sets of molds plus, you are coating the full mold surface not just the cavity. I'd go with the 50/50 elmer's if you have some.

Zbass Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Use many thin coats to get the finish you want. Zbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Keep applying the 50:50 mix. It WILL take several coats. Be patient, expect the first two or three to get soaked up, but eventually, you will start to get a smooth, shine. Then you are done. Applying a thicker coat, you are risking losing detail and possibly separation of the seal coat. This method does take more time compared to other methods, but the results are quality.

whitey Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Elmer's is the deal...Cheap and works great...I have never used 50/50 Elmer's/Water... so I can't tell you how that works, but full strength Elmer's takes two coats to finish...Just make sure to brush it in well, and leave no "pools" of glue. Let it dry well before adding the second coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
