    What do you guys think?
    I'm working on the flashing around the Ants legs...On the little guys I'm working on bigger air escape channels to get those tiny little feet to fill more consistently
    Ever consider touching the mold halves with a light sanding (wet/dry)on a perfectly flat surface for a tighter seal ?

    These little bugger's are proving to be a total pain...I think I'm going to eliminate the front legs altogether, and only keep the 2 sets of hind legs and maybe fill the feet too...
    Altho I should prolly drill a couple of clamping holes and clamp it

    It's really tough to duplicate the fine details with plaster, even with a 2-part mold, lures that require and injection mold. But good try!

    But you have given me an idea......

    Other than the legs being attached using a candle flame,



    I might be able to use my usual floor tile technique used to pour & cut as I do for my minnow grub:
