Re: Going to all RTV silicone molds

I have molds from lurecraft and Del and i gotta admit i like the aluminum(Dels) but the RTV ones are cheaper and i know the aluminum will out last the other by light years. I've also made some RTV molds with a 1lb kit and got 2-4 1/2" swimbait molds out of it. Just don't make the same mistake i did, make sure you glue the WHOLE bait down so it doesen't float on ya. Still have that piece to remind myself of what a du-mass i was for not doing it right the first time....lol

Re: Going to all RTV silicone molds

finfever don't worry about that. I think just about everybody here has one of thoes dum-ass moments. You should worry if you keep doing it.
I think he gets his RTV from Lure Craft or M-F.

when bobby and I were making them when back when for our personal use, RTV molds were costing us like 15-25 bucks each to make and that was just enough for 5 dropshot worms with a 3/8 of rtv between the bait and the bottom and 1/2" on each side.
I think he gets it straight from M-F if that helps any Delw
