  1. Looking for a 2 Q Borosilicate beaker with a handle. I have found some for scientific use and they are VERY expensive. Thanks. kevtherev
  2. Lurecraft for me. They can get almost anything; size or color. kevtherev
  3. Thanks Frank; I'll look into that. Sounds like what I'm looking for.
  4. I am dipping baits and would like as little plastic on them from dipping as possible. Thanks.
  5. Made one with water catalyst which worked pretty well. Would like lower viscosity and was planning to use mineral spirits to mix into the silicon first then the water to catalyze. Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks.
  6. Thanks guys. What temp are you using on the pot for the heatup?
  7. Anybody ever put a gallon of plastisol in their Presto Pot/Stirrer and come back in 30 minutes or whatever ready to pour? I seem to waste a lot of time heating up cups of plastic and pouring them in. Thanks.
  8. Saving money by pouring your own lures is like saving money by making your own plywood.
  9. It works very well in every way except for the hard pack issue. Within 24 hours of mixing it has to be scraped/mixed again.
  10. I think you hit a home run in your first at bat with the blending block.
  11. Most florescent colors need to be added before heating. The thermometer is a must. Stir slowly and with something small or you might introduce more bubbles than the heating process did. Good luck.
  12. I have someone who wants some lures with a "safety flourescent orange paint" brightness. Any suggestions as to how to get that bright with colorant and other additives? Thanks guys. kevtherev
  13. I used LC white pearl in the baits that turned yellow/brownish. kevtherev
  14. I recently took my baits to a flea market to sell. I had them on display on trays on a table outdoors. It was hot and sunny all day. When I got home and unloaded my unsold stock, I noticed ALL the light colored plastic had yellowed from exposure to the sun. I take great pains to avoid discoloration during pouring and now have hundreds of ruined/offcolor baits. I am sure it will come up so I will tell you I use LC plastic with pearl in most of my colors. Anyone else have this happen? I have abandoned selling outdoors for now. kevtherev
  15. I am looking for a wholesale source for boxes like the Plano 3600 or Bass Pro 6 compartment storage box with dividers. Size is about 11" X 7" and 1.75" thick. Thanks. kevtherev

  17. I have quite a few POP molds and am considering getting some aluminum molds made. For those who have used both, what are the pros and cons of each? Please go into as much detail as possible. Thanks! kevtherev
  18. What size glitter would you recommend for a 5 or 6 inch swimbait? To this point in my experiments I have used only colorant and pearl. I know it's largely personal preference but if you were going to use one size, what would it be. Thanks to everybody on here; it's a great site! kevtherev
  19. Fuzzygrub, The one I looked at is in Arkansas.
  20. Have any of you ordered from this company and if so, how was your experience with them? Thanks kevtherev
  21. I would not take the money from your IRA! You will pay a 10% penalty plus your marginal tax rate on the entire amount you withdraw. Borrow it or sell something instead! (I am a Certified Financial Planner) kevtherev
  22. Brett, That was the best, most informative post I have ever seen on here about the costs of pouring. Thanks. kevtherev
  23. Has anybody out there tried to make a Snagproof Frog using Plasti-Dip or anything similar? They are good lures but seem overpriced to me, plus you gotta love the challenge! Thanks. kevtherev
  24. Rick, I have used it and it is excellent. You need to be aware that is stays a little tacky for about 24 hours after pouring; other than that I would highly recommend it. kevtherev
