RTV ??????

Hey, I'm new here, first thread on this forum, had a question to what brand RTV is prefered, and why.

I have always used the one from Miniaturemolds. It lasts, pics up detail, but is kinda tough to mix.

Was wondering if any of the other brands are better.

Quality and durability to me would be a must. Then ease of mixing the 2 parts.

I have been making my own molds and lures since 86. Started with resin then went to RTV.

Thanks bou'cou'

Re: RTV ??????

Ma' I don't think you understand, I make all my molds my self, all my own designed lures, I was hoping some members of this forum might of tried differant brands of RTV to make molds from. Someone might know the pro's and cons of differant brands. Compron'

Re: RTV ??????

I think they are pretty much the same Lure Craft, Del-Mart and M-F all sell RTV to make your own molds. You can get diffrent hardness of RTV from places. Its pretty much who you like to buy from. I have Lure Craft RTV molds and I have some made with M-F RTV and they work and feel the same. I haven't got any molds made from Del's RTV yet so I can't say what his RTV is like (maybe he'll send me some). I think some of finfever's is from Del's and they looked the same as Lure Craft's. Hope that helps a little bit.

Re: RTV ??????

I like the O-30 better. It gives you a little more time to throughly mix it. I never could get the 25 mixed well and still have it in a pourable state w/o air bubbles. Plus Oomoo is a 50/50 mix, none of this 1 cup to 6cc's nonsense. I'm not bright enough to follow those type of instructions.

Re: RTV ??????

Good answer Gunnie. O-30 makes it a little more user friendly.
