  6. Caney Creek Molds

    in Soft Plastics

    Posted

    I agree. The Caney Creek Croaker mold I got is awesome! It makes some of the best frogs I've ever used.

    Jason at Caney Creek is also a nice and extremely helpful guy. When I first got the mold I posted pictures of a couple frogs I made and a tiny bit of the foot was missing on each frog. Jason called me up and gave me a bunch of great advice on things like temperature and safety tips that definitely helped me out.

    Top notch service and products all the way around.

  7. Silicone Cups For Microwave Heating (tip)

    Posted · Edited by GoneFroggin

    I have one too that came in the mail about a week ago. I got the idea from Jason over at Caney Creek.

    So far so good. I have only noticed good things about it.

    A) The flimsiness of the material makes it very easy to hand pour a thin stream of plastic.

    B ) The silicone cup keeps plastic hotter for longer (I'd say about 2.5x longer than Pyrex)

    C) The plastic doesn't stick to the sides.

    Here's the exact one I got: http://cgi.ebay.com/...em=280625234787

    Safe up to 490 degrees F

  9. Anchor Measuring Cup

    Has anyone every had a anchor glass cup explode when using in micro, I did tonight, I did not set it on a cold surface, my table is wood.

    I could see little flames in the micro when heating, took it out set the cup on the bench, and it exploded. Use with care when pouring with these cups.

    Thanks for the headsup.

    You may want to place your cup on a towel instead of your wood table.

    This is a really helpful topic. Thanks Del, Jesse, and guertin for your responses, as they were especially helpful.

    I have another question though... Does anyone know where to get glitters that can be used in a microwave for soft plastics?

  14. Proper Way To Make A Resin Mold?

    You may be able to rescue the mold, depending on how deep you have to dig for the worms.

    Next time, it is very important to degrease the worms. Wash in warm water with detergent and dry thoroughly before attempting to stick down. Here are a few links to the same discussion:

    These should help.

    Thanks for the links and the answer. Sorry about asking a question that was already covered. I couldn't find anything relevant to my question when I tried using the search tool.

  15. Proper Way To Make A Resin Mold?

    I tried making a mold out of Bondo fiberglass resin after watching a youtube vid. I thought I did everything correct but after the mold dried I took it out of the pan and the senkos are completely covered in the resin. Did I do something wrong or do I need to sand the mold down until I can extract the worms?

    That would be cool,

    if when you got a starter kit.

    you could choose..

    softness of plastic

    colors you want

    and molds you want.

    I never got a starter kit.

    so they mite just do that.

    great Idea.

    Jeff

    Thanks for all the replies! I think I'm going to get a started kit from Caney Creek. One of the options is a frog mold that makes one of my favorite frogs :)
