texasbass1 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I just wanted to thank Woodsac for his excellent tutorial on making resin molds. I just finished pouring some baits out of my first mold and they look pretty good. I will post some pictures as soon as I can get a good one. I have found this to be the most informative site and the most supportive group to deal with, no question is to basic and everyone is willing to share what they have learned. I have gotten back into pouring since I found this site and it is a real thrill to win a tournament and have someone ask what you caught them on and you say "One of my handpours".

woodsac Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 :oops: Thanks! If you have any comments about lessons learned while making the mold, share them. One thing I've noticed that isn't in my tutorial, is that I need far less catalyst when I'm pouring resin into a metal container vise a glass container. I only use about 4 drops per oz when I use a metal container. I might up it to 5 in the winter, and put a space heater a couple feet away from where the mold is curing. The metal takes on so much heat that if you're not careful, it will cause the mold to warp and break from the excessive heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasbass1 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I used a disposable aluminum bread pan and it worked real well. One thing to remember and you did put it in your tutorial is to coat the mold with Pam or worm oil. This is real important, forgot a couple of times almost didn't get the frog out.
