CollinW22 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 When making a silicone mold of an existing soft plastic lure, is it necessary to add a release agent on the bait before pouring the mold? Or does silicone not stick to plastisol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglinarcher Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Ya, Silicone only sticks to silicone. But, there are two main types of mold silicone that I know of. The platinum base will cure with contaminants, but the tin based is impacted by some chemicals and won't cure. If you are not sure if the master has that chemical, it is best to coat the master with a neutral clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollinW22 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks guys. I realized how dumb this question was lol. I only had one of the bait I wanted to copy and didn't want to mess it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
