Thanks guys! Mixing A and B first actually seemed to do the trick. I didn’t even have to use a drill, but just stirring it up seemed to do it. I was concerned because I ordered the 16oz bottles but was sent the 32 by mistake so I thought maybe I got an old batch or something. If it’s working, then lucky me I guess

I tried at .5 microballoons, and it seemed to have hardened. I can increase as you said, but I’m also curious to know why this batch is doing this when the last one had no issue. Another weird thing is I ordered through Amazon as repeat orders and one order came with smaller bottles (expected) but my second order came with bigger bottles. I’m wondering if someone sent me out an old batch or something.

I’m trying to cast lure with resin. I’ve always used a mix of 1oz micro balloons, .5 oz A and .5 oz B and was working ok. I recently got new resin but In gallon bottles instead of the smaller bottles I usually get, but the same brand (specialty resin). When I use this mix, it doesn’t harden up and the cast falls a part and is soft when I take out of the mold. I tried shaking and mixing both bottles but am still running into the same problem. Any suggestions?

I’m in the process of making a jointed lure out of resin. I wanted to know if there was a good way to add weight to the lure without it sinking. I need it to float, and after hardware, my current plan slow sinks if I add even a bb weight. Right now I’m using micro balloons at .5 oz resin A, .5 resin B and 1 oz micro balloons and that keeps it floating as long as I don’t add any weight. The thing is, it’s super tough to cast without any weight behind it. I use a lot of jerkbaits and those I think have an ideal weighting system, but not sure if I could replicate with resin bait

Hi, new here, so apologize in advance if this is something that’s been covered. I’ve been trying something out lately and would like some help. I’m trying to build a bait that shallow dives but is jointed with tail and has a lot of action. I’m basically going for flash minnow 110 with a lexan tail. I guess my question is if I put in a lexan tail, will that kill the action? I expect it to some, but want it to still carry a good amount of action. Could I do it by changing the bill size?
