Tman69671 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I am quite experience in making lures out of pine and oak. I was looking for a quicker way and way to make better duplications. I was looking at resin. Do you guys have any recommendations? I want a similar buoyancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 If you are a carver try PVC trimboard, by AZEK. It is buoyant, waterproof, and carves like wood without grain. http://azek.com/products/trim/trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman69671 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm not necessarily a carver I want to be able to mold lures to get perfect duplications but have similar bouyancy as wood so little modification is needed to the designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Lots of options with the plastics. Alumilite shells with lightweight foams inside, alumilite with microballoons, or just closed cell polyurethane foams. I have made a few out of 15 lbs closed cell foam and like the density and toughness. Do your research on the vendors sites and decide what buoyancy you want. You can usually buy smaller amounts to experiment with. Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman69671 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 How durable is that foam? I have also read a little on featherlite anyone using that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
