Mad Moose Baits 38 Report post Posted July 16 So I love to make YouTube videos and here is my latest and how I have started making vulcanized rubber molds.

School Master 40 Report post Posted July 29 Where did you buy the vulcanized blank? Seems like it has potential. I've been using high temp silicon to make 2 part molds for the last couple years. Works well, but they don't always last. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you use to vulcanize the silicone mold rubber. I've been wanting to give this a shot. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcool3 26 Report post Posted August 10 (edited) Another source https://www.ottofrei.com/Castaldo-Econosil-Price-Per-Lb they have whole line of castaldo mold making supplies. Wonder where I can get a bigger frame than the standard 2 x 3 inches? Thinking of making one using square aluminum tubing 2 x2 inches ... Also I have t-shirt press which supplies heat and pressure, not sure how well that would work. Great video Mad Moose.

jigmeister 4 Report post Posted September 12 Great topic and video ! Instead of cutting a sprue afterwards a worm weight works great for a sprue shape . Drill a small hole in the master jig head just big enough for a short piece of spinnerbait arm wire . Put the wire in the hole you drilled and slide the worm weight onto the wire up against the master . Check alignment to make sure it's straight for a clean parting line . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
