Lunkerones Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi im looking to do a fun project, just for experiment, i know a cnc mold would probably be a best choice but was wondering if a 2 piece silicone mold would be useful for pouring baits with soft plastic liquid? And im also wondering what are some good soft plastic liquid i can use to pour ? Im making small little swimbaits and looking for materials like similar to a huddleston swim shad, im wanting to paint it afterwards thanks in advanced !

Lunkerones Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Im also looking to do a lead mold for the enternal harness that holds a top jig hook, what can I use to make the mold, plaster of paris or automotive bondo? Or what can I use to make the mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 One or two piece silicone mold will work great for pouring soft plastics. I do a lot with it. There are several stiffness's of silicones, but I think the Alumilite HS2 is the best beginner material. http://www.makelure.com/ Go to the How-to-Videos and you will see how to make the molds and how to use them. If you check out the lure photos you will see some of the soft plastics poured. As for lead, well you can use the silicone mold putty to make a mold. It will not last for a really long time, but it works pretty well, especially if you let the mold cool some between pours. I find it works much better then POP or Bondo. Of course, there are other companies, but the link I gave will get you started. Painting plastic, well try this link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I saw a video on YouTube some where a guy making a skull lead head and he used sculpy clay and high temp silicone to make the mold . It was pretty cool . I get my plastic from www.shopbaitjunkys.com. It's good stuff and good cust. Service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunkerones Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Are all these plastisol lidquid all clear? How do i get them to be white like the stuff Huddleston uses? And would the medium work best for swimbaits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
