whats the best way of gluing
down lures to a container to copy them. I have some liquid silicone/hardner that I want to copy some drop shot worms and craws. The problem is I have 1 shot at this and I cant afford to screw it up.
I've been just supergluing them to a rubbermaid container for the POP mods but the DS worms seem to always break loose and come to the top or suspend in the mold.
I'm wondering if epoxy would be better.

Re: whats the best way of gluing
I use a flat metal pan and super glue. You can get cheap pans at any dept store but the botom has to be flat.

Re: whats the best way of gluing
I used super glue and a metal baking pan (check the dollar stores). I bought the super glue bottle that comes with a brush. In my opinion, the brush makes the process much easier.
When I pulled out the Durham's mold, the baits were still firmly glued to the bottom of the pan.

Re: whats the best way of gluing
Two things work for me. I use the Super Glue Gel and sometimes I use some 2 part epoxy glue. A little dab will do you on the epoxy. I also use throw away plastic pans like rubbermaid meal containers, sandwich containers, etc.

Re: whats the best way of gluing
I use plain clear silicone, just put a dab on your finger and spread a thin layer across the bottom of the bait. It works really well on small appendeges. I never had a bait "float" yet.

Re: whats the best way of gluing
I use a 5 or 6 x 9 metal pan. (Not one with a non stick coating). That way all my molds are the same size for easy storage. If I forget to clean the silicone out and it hardens in the pan then all I have to do is put a metal brush on the drill and clean it out.

Re: whats the best way of gluing
Use a hobby CA glue with activator, that stuff will glue a greasy french fry to a piece of aluminum.  |

Re: whats the best way of gluing
The Dollar Store and super glue gel work for me. I figured if it glued the baits to a lead jig, why not flat steel. Sometimes the oil on bait slows down the set so place the bait and leave it there for 5 or 10 minutes.
Also, thin baits can stretch so be careful not to elongate the bait while smoothing it or straightening it out.
