    Default Modifying a Do It Mold


    I wanting to take a minnow head mold and block off the collar. What type of material would you use ( like epoxy or something like that) to fill it in then be able to grind out the area for the hook shank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Slow set JB weld. Take hook and coat shank with Pam spray. Fill with JB let set for a few, trim excess with razor blade, insert hook and clamp mold shut. Let cure over night and should have minimal trimming to do.

    I use high heat permatex RTV it is a silicone. You can take it out if you decide you want to change it back

    If you already have the collared mold.
    After pouring just cut the collar off .
    Real easy to takes a second.
