ravenlures Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Is this soft plastic? If not try silicone rubber for making molds. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne hard plastic, does this need a wood or aluminum mold and needs a injecter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamafan2277 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I would say Aluminum would be best as it can withstand high heat of liquid plastic better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I pour white plastic all the time into silicone molds no problem. Go to the alumilite site for the plastic its a two part mix with micro balloons and you have a plastic lure. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberflexx Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 My local hobby lobby sells Allumalite kits, they dont have the microballoons but I've put balsa in the mold before pouring plastic in and it's worked great....
