Forgot to put a picture of the finished worm so here it is.
I've never been happy with the finish on my essential series molds, so I figured out a way to get the finish much better. First, I taped the mold up and used a razor to trim out the cavities. Then I painted the cavities with high heat gloss engine paint. Problem solved.
The baits now look as good as if they were from a machined mold. There is still some texture, but it's much better. Just thought I'd pass this along. I know most of you guys don't make bass baits, but if you were thinking about getting an essential series mold, this makes them much better.
This is the finished mold.

I strayed away from the es senko just for that reason! Thanks to your great idea I may order the thing now. There is always someone thinking outside the box and this idea is a home run judging by the looks of that worm! Thanks for the tip
Worked like a charm.
