Good day to all fishing and homemade.
Today I will show and talk about the process of manufacturing a mold for casting silicone baits. I think everyone understands that the manufacture of bait itself significantly reduces the cost of the bait itself and this form is the most important in this process.
Materials and tools:
1. alabaster
2. water
3. vibrotail which we will copy
4. laundry soap
5. stir stick
6. kneading capacity
7. tassel
8. knife
9. thin drill
10. foam
11. plasticine
Step 1
Determine the size of the form. The shape should be such that our bait fits comfortably and the walls have a thickness of at least 5 mm.
Step 2
According to these sizes, we make foam formwork and glue it with glue and tape. Then we stick it on the base and coat everything with plasticine.
Step 3
Knead the solution. To do this, mix the alabaster with water until the consistency of thick sour cream.
Step 4
We pour the solution into the formwork exactly to half and lay the bait to half as well and wait until the solution hardens.
Step 5
After the solution has hardened, we make indentations along the edges of the mold with a knife so that the mold remains even during casting, grease everything with a solution of laundry soap in water and fill the second layer to the top. We are waiting for the solution to solidify.
Step 6
Final processing. Separate the form, get the bait. We make passages for air exit, drill a hole for pouring silicone with a drill and the whole form is ready.
