capt mike Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 What’s the highest percentage of mb that you can get away with on a big bait? I’ve always thought 50/50 was max and anymore would be too brittle. I’m wondering if any have tried more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I have made it so thick that pouring was not possible due to thickness. I used a cake injector to pour the mold, achieving a material density of 0.65g/cm3 using polyester resin. Yes, the material was brittle, but certainly usable. Just don't drop the bare body on a tiled floor. I guess it all depends if you are going to be regularly throwing onto rocks, and even then, the velocity is significantly reduced by the trailing line. My point is that dropping from a 2nd story window would be an unrealistic test. Once the epoxy topcoat has been applied, the resistance to shock is improved. Are your numbers by weight or volume? I documented mine by weight, and I can tell you that by volume, the percentage was way higher than 50%. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
