You should be able to use the original silicone mold and pour resin into it to make solid baits to pour over. If you spray the mold with silicone spray it'll stop it from sticking as silicone spray is also a mold release agent. You can also spray the bottom of the pan and the baits that you glue to it to help with removing them.
Have you tried a glycerin brushing or spray of fibreglass mould prior to the pouring of silicone? I would think that it would be easier to pull the lure after the cure.
You can also make silicone molds using silicone caulking and cornstarch. You just put a layer of cornstarch on a plate and keep mixing in cornstarch until it doesn't stick to your hand and apply it over whatever you want to mold. If you do half, drill some holes for alignment, make ports to inject soft plastic in, make ports on the opposite end to let air out, spray it with mold release, and do the other half you will have a nice 2 piece mold for swimbaits.
I would have probably used a disposable aluminum baking pan from Walmart and solid worms vs soft plastic. But good tutorial to make resin molds though.
I think if you hit the top surface of that mold with a belt sander you could get it down to where the lure was and remove a lot of the overlap imperfections and make them easier to remove.
If I'm duplicating a mold on the cheap. I'll get a Rubbermaid container. I'll glue down the worms/creatures, or in my case, an Osprey swimbait in the inside of the bottom of the Rubbermaid container. I'll use super glue and give a nice even coat to the bait. I'll let it dry overnight. The next day, I'll mix up a thinner patch of Plaster of Paris. I choose a thinner batch for the finer details in the bait. Before I pour, I put a VERY light coat of Vaseline all over the bait. I then pour the Plaster of Paris into the mold. Make sure to either put the mold in a vacuum chamber or tap the mold on the workbench very lightly to help some of the bubbles escape. I usually let the mold dry in the container for 3 or 4 days. I carefully remove the mold from the Rubbermaid container. 90% of the time, the bait will stay glued to the plastic container. I'll then wait a few more days. I fix any imperfections within the mold by sanding, adding patch...etc. After all of the prep work is done, I'll brush on very thin layers of Elmer's concrete Bond. It works amazing. I still have one or two of these molds that are around 20 years old.
Yes it is a bad idea. Toxic fumes are produced when heating plastisol or melting down torn/old used baits in the microwave. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation and ideally use a couple of desk fans to blow the fumes out of your production area. Also DO NOT use a microwave that you intend to cook food in for heating the plastisol. Buy one that you ONLY use for making baits in
You should be able to do it like this guy but with resin. Also Silicone spray that you can buy at any auto parts store or walmart is a mold release agent and I've had great luck using it. th-cam.com/video/LsAVWw0eKqc/w-d-xo.html
That will depend on which brand of resin you buy. Most brands will tell you on the pack the required ratios to set your desired amount of resin. Hope this helps?
If money is the issue why then not use "plaster of paris" as a 50lb bag is like $20.00, which is much more than the resin? Have you tried "plaster of paris" ? Or is the resin better quality or something ? & as a thought lure oil rubbed in before adding plastisol makes the finished product slide out better. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks & great video bro.
@@RobertMartinez-ps3vs my bad, lol. For some reason i seen 10 years & silicone popped in my head. Wow, i wasnt expecting plaster of paris to last that long. Do you coat it before each pour ? Or is there a secret to having it last that long ? Appreciate the info bro.
fishy dubs fishing no it will always have a small flat spot. I just made a video just like this with Ned rigs. They came out very round but had a small flat spot.
I was about to spend 300 dollars on a mold then I saw this u love u man thanks
I have both but if you are just starting out practice here before you spend big money
@@deathbyhook Ight thanks!
Excited to try this. Looks like an excellent way to recycle the old soft plastics.
Super cool love the video sir 👊🤝🤘🏻 YEE YEE!!

Shoutout back to ya from Dead On! We loved the vid!!
Eso ess Robert, good video👍🏾👍🏾
This is badass cheap way to make molds and u got a badass intro my dude
Thanks bro
Thanks for video. Can you tell me how you heated the plastic

Good Job 👍. I got to try this.
Great VIDEO! Keep em coming!
Really appreciate this video man. Going to Walmart right now and make my own. How do I get stickers from death by hook.

Your logo is awesome
cool video, but I feel like your talking to the dude behind me, but its just me lol
Great video, thanks
Awesome video Thankyou so much

Your videos rock. Great channel!
Cool vid brotha
Nice!👍
Plaster of Paris might be a good alternative
Wow! I need to start doing this with my used lures!
FisherYin you can make your own copies and pour some old baits together I will be making more soon . Out of silicone
Vibrate the mold after pouring. It will allow all the cavities to fill-in nice and evenly and release any air pockets or inclusions
Thanks bro

Wonder if flex seal would work
Is it bad to smell the old baits in the microwave just wondering

Buy one that you ONLY use for making baits in
There can be a lot of exothermic heat from fiberglass resin. That might melt your worms.
Wish my attempt at this had worked this well. Lol
Spray a little oil on the mould will come out easy
Do you think I could make a two piece mold with this resine??
I would love to try

If I do 2 cups of resin. How much drops of hardener do I put?
That will depend on which brand of resin you buy.
Most brands will tell you on the pack the required ratios to set your desired amount of resin.
Hope this helps?
I used 1-1

@jerry93y 10/4 thanks.
I have pop molds that are almost 10 years old.
@@RobertMartinez-ps3vs Are you talking about silicon pop out molds ?
10 years is great, definately got moneys worth.

Try spraying the mold with PVA.
Can you make round sinks with that
fishy dubs fishing no it will always have a small flat spot. I just made a video just like this with Ned rigs. They came out very round but had a small flat spot.
I just posted the video check it out
@@deathbyhook ok thanks
you should make some merchandise
Fantasy Fishing thank you I will look into it
Cool Daddy-O
The intro song turned out great
Elijah Sharp I’m glad you like it . It puts me in a fishing mood lol
How to make a round worm mold
just a comment on the video... you move the camera around to much... and we don't always have to have a full screen face!
I’m learning thank you for the feed back I appreciate it thanks for watching
Dude, I'm on this,
It’s easy
Get a dremel and detail the fiberglass molding
Juan Rosales I’m going to buy one this weekend.
Yep. You can really trick a bait out with some simple Dremel tip. Great suggestion
Song?
David Tapia what about it?
Death By Hook wondering the title and who sings it
David Tapia I wrote the song and a friend of mine put it all together for me.
They'll look like shit
You look at yourself more then the camera lens, it's annoying af.
Thanks for the input I am just getting started so I appreciate all the feedback. Thank you for watching.
Stop hating, if you don't like it, then move on....
