What do you guys think?
I'm working on the flashing around the Ants legs...On the little guys I'm working on bigger air escape channels to get those tiny little feet to fill more consistently

Ever consider touching the mold halves with a light sanding (wet/dry)on a perfectly flat surface for a tighter seal ?

billygee :rolleyes:

:biggrinNope!
Thought about it ...I did on the 1st molds I did, but have been having such good luck ...Kinda like the Fiba fuse Just fazed it out

These little bugger's are proving to be a total pain...I think I'm going to eliminate the front legs altogether, and only keep the 2 sets of hind legs and maybe fill the feet too...
Altho I should prolly drill a couple of clamping holes and clamp it

It's really tough to duplicate the fine details with plaster, even with a 2-part mold, lures that require and injection mold. But good try!

But you have given me an idea......

Other than the legs being attached using a candle flame,

I might be able to use my usual floor tile technique used to pour & cut as I do for my minnow grub:

Spoonminnow,
Thanks for the vid!
I just need to drill the bolt holes to put better pressure on the top half!
