I have been dabbling in plastic now for three weeks. Bob, G and Keith have been very helpful. I wish I had read the "DO NOT DO" thread first! Could have saved myself a few burns. Remember to always wear long sleeves, gloves and a face shield!

First, I learned how to add eyes on plastic baits and redip them. Then I made a few plaster of paris molds that worked pretty well. Last week i bought a few used molds from Nate Jones. They arrived yesterday. Will try pouring them on Monday when I have some free time. It is fun, I just make a few for myself to go fishing with. I guess you would call it therapy.
