tad Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Is there anything out there that I can make clear hard molds with. Like some of the ones netcraft sells. They look like lexan. It sure would be nice to be able to see how well the pour is forming with 2 part molds. If the pour is starting out bad a person to abort the pour and start over. It would also make it easier to make multiple color pours and make baits with a soft tail plastic and a saltwater plastic for the head portion such as mann's hard nose baits. Any ideas fellow pourers. Thanks for any input.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I haven't actually had my hands on one but if I had to guess I would say that they are acrylic. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomdart Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Nova, I think you are right - acrylic. M-F Limit Corporation used to sell some a long time ago made from that type of material if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tad Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Is acrylic just a resin and catalyst? Can it bought somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAWGHUNNA Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Try looking here...they have some transparent mold making materials www.smoothon.com I just cast a couple of molds using the oomoo 25 and this silicone picked up incredible detail...however the oomoo is not transparent.

longhorn Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I have several of the netcraft molds...unless they've changed they are injection molded from cheap plastic about like lure boxes...it crazes and cracks when contacted by hot plastic. I've successfully used plexiglass to make two part molds for hand injection...hand "machined" with dremel tool and coated with Elmer's glue they work great and have lasted for years. I've tried to post a photo with this reply without success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
