One of the better mold videos I've seen. I've been doing silicone molds for a few yrs now. Even make silicone molds for pouring my lead jigs. Figured out how to do the soft plastic for the Berkeley flat worm max scent technology. Sodium polyacrylate + polyvinyl acetate + ethylene vinyl acetate. Use a smaller mold to get the size bait you want.
I appreciate the compliment. Funny you should mention using them for lead. I’ve been wanting to do that and have a video planned soon. I’ve also been working on a cheat for a 2 part mold.
I've been wanting to do a TH-cam channel for awhile about all the cheats I've learned over the yrs. Just haven't found the time. Love watching videos like this. I can always find something I can use or figure out a easier method. I started by curing salmon eggs about 12yrs ago and haven't stopped yet lol. I think at this point I have more lure making material then my wife has crafting material 🤣🤣🤣 keep pumping out videos and keep the comments section rolling. Feeds the algorithm lol
Thanks for the advice. I've definitely researched starting it lol. 6 kids and a fishing addiction has killed anytime I've had. Now tournaments are starting i know my calendar is full till fall lol. Then salmon and steelhead start running 🤣🤣🤣
What is the stuff called that you poured over the lures and where do you get it? What did you make the sides of the mold on top of the tile. Thanks for sharing. They look great! Nice color combo.
You could have made as many cavities as you wanted to with a little more patience. The same way you copied the three good lures; you then make a mastermold of those three with even something as simple as Bondo fiberglass resin. Rinse and repeat until you have as many HARD perfect copies to use as your Masters to whatever quantity you want. Then use those Masters to make a mold with as many cavities as you want you could go as high as 10 if you really wanted to.
I was actually able to peel the whole thing apart. I’ve got all the stuff to make a heated sand bed to keep my Plastisol hot while I pour. That’s actually going to be a video on building that. Just gotta squeeze it in between life and other videos. Thanks for watching!
Your process seems a little inefficient, and a bit wasteful. Instead of using epoxy on a tile, you can just put some staples through some cardboard you have laying around as holding posts for the soft bait. Then mix a little dish soap and water and spray it on to keep the silicone from sticking. Now you don't need epoxy, tile,and unnecessary waste of time.
So use cardboard and staples to make the base and walls and then spray soap and water on the base then pour your silicone? Just making sure because I'd like to try this
the back of the3 bait needs to be perfectly flat to the base, or the silicone will flow between and mess it up. the staples wont hold it down perfectly. it sucks that he put the time and effort into this video to help us for free, and idiots like you coem with your ill informed opinions, Just shut up

I told my wife “you’re welcome “ for all the Micheals coupons she gets from me buying lure making supplies there.
And if you want to do a TH-cam channel an iPhone and PowerDirector is what I use mostly.

Been so curious about doing something like this. Now I can’t wait to try it!
Once you start you can’t stop. I’m getting into the airbrushing side of it now. Look for those vids coming soon.
ive been using plaster of paris to make sinkers and buckshot for years this is a cool idea too
perfect video for what I need. Thank you so much. You’re a good teacher. Are you still pouring your own lures

Awesome Video!! Keep it up!!!
Thank you.
Loved this video! What is the purpose of the two part epoxy at the beginning?
Where can I get the stuff to make them myself?.
i have a question, where can i get this stuff. like the silicone and were are te shads made from

Nice how about next video Try making a two piece mold
Great video what do you use for your base and sides of your mold .
Right now I’m using old window blinds and popsicle sticks. You can use anything flat really. The silicone doesn’t stick to anything.
A.I mold just as cheep?
you can boil them in water and they will straighten out
It’s way cheaper to just buy bulk from manufacture I promise. Unless you value your labor at 2$ an hour
Is it? Out of a pack of 8 only three are usuable, plus custom colors this way
How can u buy it from the manufacturer
On the one that didn't bond run the heat gun to it and it should get them together

Great video though
