1st time making plaster molds & pouring plastics.

[ZoGemini569]

Just wanted to get some opinions on how my molds & pours look. It's my 1st time doing both. I just used some old plastics I had. I'm waiting for my order of products to arrive @ my house so I can do some different colors & experiment. Some of the molds are for ocean fishing & some are for freshwater fishing. :blush:

Are those full round molds??? I only see the molds you show but can't tell if they're totally round. They look really good - as others have said there are some great plastics folks on this board that can help you alot!!

No they're Flat molds. Just wanted to see if I could do this plaster mold making & plastic pouring. I'm tired of buying stuff from tackle shops. Wanted to do some different colors I have some ideas. I really feel good when I pour something & catch fish on them. It' s a great self accomplishment for me.

Those molds look good - you could pm Snake and see where he gets his injection molds made, if you want them that way. But if you're baits are working why bother!!!

Good first time pours for open molds (whcih are the hardest to pour by hand) Flashing is all ways a problem and it looks like you have that "Whipped" ... You will find that all Plastisol does not pour the same and you have to adjust for that with Hand pouring ... Hand pour (or Open Mold Pour & makeing your own molds) really shows "Craftmanship" Keep us up to date.
