    Got these ready to make a POP mold of. I am looking to do a two piece injection mold again. Will be pouring first half in the morning.
    Everything goes right with this one, I will make a second one. Been playing with the idea of making a silicone copy of an aluminum mold and making a plaster mold from the silicone copy. Anyone ever do that. Would love to hear how it came out, method used, etc. Thanks for the look. Eric, AKA Jamesdean

    I will post picks as I get each step done...This is a full size glue stick 3.94” long by 0.41” in dia. . I took a plastic coated paper clip and straightened it out, then cut plastic off. Cut it into lengths of approximately 1/3” to3/4”, heat it while holding with pliers and pushing into the glue stick. In seconds it glued in. Alternating sides so the stems are offset, and enough room between so the lures don’t touch. Sometimes adjustments must be made. If the pin has to be moved, heat the end with a lighter and pull it out reheat and push in new spot.
    To attach soft plastic it’s just a mater of pushing it onto the pin so it touches the glue stick solidly.
    Mix up your Pop thoroughly and pour onto your mold. I lightly bounce the mold a few times to move any air bubbles from mixing to the top, then carefully place the masters including the glue stick into the plaster trying to keep the baits as straight as possible, yet only about 1/2 way submerged into the POP.
    There will always be some clean-up to do after this part dries. Then it’s just a matter of letting the plaster dry. I have a set of four picks I picked up at Harbor Freight for a few dollars, that I use to remove any excess plaster after a couple hours of drying, before it sets up hard. Lightly brush out the debris and let it finish drying, usually the remainder of 24 hrs from the time I finished mixing the POP.

    Once it’s dried and any more residual cleaning is done, I either spray the mold top with Pam cooking spray, or lacking that paint it and the lure tops with a light coating of Vaseline. Pam is bu far the faster method. Now mix the same amount of POP as you did for the bottom half of the mold. Once mixed, I spoon it over the lures till they are well covered and no air pockets touching the lure. Then pour remaining mix over the bottom half of mold. Tap it a couple times on bench/table top to remove any air bubbles that might make a weak spot in the mold. Then it’s just waiting for it to dry. More to come tomorrow...

    I would like to see you do a video in the process of making your molds I am enjoying reading your posts they’re very precise.

    Snake River, if I ever get where I can afford a camera, I probably will make a video, but don’t see it in the near future...

    But thank you for the compliment on how to do these. I know it is when someone makes a video, and either in editing, or in doing it, what ever it is, leaves things out. It is very frustrating to the one trying to learn something, as well as it can get costly...Thanks again.
