    Question ? About pop mold material???


    Would pre-mixed plaster patch work for mold making ??? they sell a tub of it @ wal-mart and wasn't sure if it would work.

    I would think it would work but I deftly would put a sealer on it after it dried . I have not made any molds myself out of that material . I believe crappie seeker has in maybe he would comment if he gets a chance.

    is the bondo bought from auto parts store. We used something similar to this when we use to glass in hunting rifles . It was a two-part mixture sets up very fast but definitely gets hard as a rock.

    I have used plaster and bondo and resin. I did not like my experiences with any of them. I probably had better results from the oomoo resin than the plaster and bondo. You can make molds out of all of those. I made a few molds that actually made some ok baits. It is just very time consuming and you have to do a lot of trimming and with the small cavities for panfish baits, it just does not work all that great. However this is a matter of opinion and you may do well with it. I myself did not prefer it and only had limited results. Someone here use to make some pretty nice baits out of the bondo and had pictures of them. I do not remember the name right off but you might could look through some old posts. His baits looked pretty darn good.
