ALL YOU GUYS HAVE ENCOURAGED ME You guys encouraged me to adventure into this... and wicklundrh didn't hurt either It's been a long time coming and I think I may never buy an ally mold cuz It's too much fun building a "lowly P.O.P. mold" that produces baits that will catch fish....I just have to settle down and decide whether or not I want to build "GATOR BAITS" or Crappie baits.... I like it here.... I hope when I grow into the baits I want to build that all you guys will still deal with me!
    you need anything you let us know i’m enjoying you progress ahead .

    Since there are so many "Fine" features on these guys (Little hairs on the legs and the little legs) I figured I'd need some extra time so I mixed the plaster wet and add a BOATLOAD of glue...
    Noticed right away that the mold looked kinda FIZZY....Lots of really tiny air bubbles
    Tapped it for prolly 3 minutes and kept poking bubbles
    Finally got to where I could tweezer and toothpick them in
    The 1st in kept sinking, so had to pull him up with a sewing needle
    Finally got them all in, but lost some details that just couldn't keep apart (The little Hairs) that's OK those can be carved in later!

    Look closer... Plaster is still fizzing

    Off to the stove it went to stay nice and warm...
    Sitting on the front of the furnace It was in a warm and safe place
    after a few hours It felt warm to the touch...( Damp Plaster feels cool because of convection) this felt warm
    so the sides got trimmed...
    turned it over to pop it out....BEFORE I WAS SEATED so it could fall into my lap

    Can a mod move them to "I like bugs" ?

    Default the smaller you go the more tedious it gets

    the smaller you go the more tedious it gets

    Since I haven't been involved with p.o.p. for awhile in my past dealings with it
    I found it best to try small blends of what ever glue or bonding liquid with p.o.p in a small batch to determine it's bonding characteristic,
    as some may cause it to crumble.
    I used plain white Elmer's Glue, then would seal it with Epoxy, for there are many different idea's on sealing after the mold curing.

    Just a little insight what worked for me

    Had that similar problem.

    couple things I found to lesson the so called foaming:

    try just using a small dowel instead of a beater to stir instead of a whip,
    add a little more water to slow down the curing as a fast cure will capture more air resulting in a lot of tiny bubbles, again it's A TRIAL AND ERROR getting the right consistency, that's why I did a lot of small cube batches before I would pour a mold.
    in doing so I would pour the p.o.p from the side of the container for a more even flow watching for bubbles.

    Hope this helps

    billygee :rolleyes:
