For amateurs and avid fishermen to catch jig heads and other lures. We will make plaster molds for casting sinkers and jig heads. After all, fishing equipment often comes off or some good trophy tears it off. Making such a mold will not be difficult to manufacture, and in practice you will make it from improvised materials.
First, let's watch the author’s video:
Necessary materials and tools:
- 2 plastic cups
- scissors
- gypsum
- building mesh
- knife and lighter
- preparation
- drill
- butter
- adhesive tape
- lead.
Step 1: Take a glass and cut it in half. Then we take the second cup and cut it in half so that it is above 1. It is necessary that 1 cup is put on another.
Step 2: Next, take a larger glass and cut out the bottom of it. This can be done with a heated blade or knife.
Step 3: Heat the knife and make an incision on the glass.
Step 4: Take the first glass and fill it with half gypsum, then lay a piece of the construction net and fill it to the very edge.
Step 5: Wait for the correct consistency and dip our jig head in half.
Step 6: Now we make notches so that one part coincides with the second.
Step 7: Lubricate the workpiece with soap or oil in order to disconnect the mold.
Step 8: Next, insert the second cup into the workpiece and wrap it with tape. And fill the plaster.
Step 9: We disassemble the workpiece and make the gate.
Step 10: We make a workpiece from the wire and try to fill the lead. After the lead is poured, we cool it and with the knife we smooth out all the bumps.
