Thanks CF. I guess I am intimidated by "Injection" I still don't like shots at the doctor's office either! LOL

May have to look into that after the first of the year. Can't find too much on you tube either on making resin molds. will try Dogpile Web Search this afternoon. I used that site a lot as a building principal. Best search engine on the net folks.

Just found this on e-how.com.

1
Place the rectangular baking pan on a flat and level surface. Line the bottom of the pan with a sheet of laminating paper gloss side down and adhesive side up. Use tape along the edges to fasten it into position in the pan.

2
Position a selection of worm lures onto the laminate sheet, allowing a small gap in between each one. Make sure that each worm sticks to the laminate adhesive so that it will not move out of position when you pour in the fiberglass resin.

3
Fill a Pyrex jug with a 10-cup mixture of fiberglass resin and activator according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a stir stick and mix the solution to amalgamate the activator into the resin.

4
Pour the fiberglass resin solution over the worms evenly so that you cover the lures by 1 inch. Allow at least two hours for the mold to set or follow the fiberglass resin manufacturer's drying time instructions.

5
Turn the pan upside down onto a flat surface to release the mold from the pan. Remove the laminate lining from the top of the mold and lift out the worm lures if the mold did not release them when you turned over the pan. Repeat the procedure to create multiple fiberglass resin worm molds.
