  1. So I was browsing here and I saw a lot of posts talking about there if resin being tacky after curing. I don’t have any experience using it as a clear coat( I literally have my first test piece in my uV box now) I do have some decent resin printing experience. Sometime resin prints have the same issue being tacky after curing. This happens because oxygen inhibits the reaction that causes the resin to harden. The method in resin printing is to submerge the piece in water and then stick it under uv in a clear container of corse. This prevents the oxygen from contacting the outside layer and lets it cure. Obviously this would have to be done after it sets up. If I ever encounter this problem I will test and post back here but if anyone runs into that issue try that.

  2. Been lurking here for a while finally made an account. I made this rain bait mold on my 3d printer. The files can be downloaded here for free if anyone is interested:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5471523

  3. I’ve never attempted it I think the heat deflection temperatures of most resins is pretty low. I use petg for mold on my fdm and that works decently well. It’s deflection temperature is much lower than that of the plastisol but I’m not sure resin would compare. Plastic is a bad conducted of heat. I’m assuming your just trying to save on resin and money right? You could prototype single cavity molds or print out just the lure out of any resin so you can see it and judge if it will work or not.

  4. You could also give it a quick heat with a hair dryer to give a custom fit. But a flex filament is still the best option. As a side note I am a bit closer on using flexible fillaments

  5. Is littleriver still around? I sent him a message but looks like he hasn't been active in a while. I have some questions about some Tennessee Shad baits I've found. Thanks!

  6. Hi Mark, I don't have any weight transfer squarebills currently. I asked Brian about this and he told me where to get them, but indicated that he felt the 2.5 squarebills I have in stock from another vendor are of much better quality. I didn't know he had previously offered a wt squarebill. If this is something you would be interested in, I can see what it I can do to get some. It would probably depend on quantity

  9. I have a few molds I’ve printed out of resin and fdm. The resin is much nicer than the fdm at a higher cost. No later lines and no warping issues. If your going to use resin get the syriatch sculpt. It’s the only really consumer option that can handle the heat. There are others but they are a lot more expensive.
