gel a lure from spike it

I found this video on youtube while searching around for plastics videos. I thought this was a very cool way to make baits. I know it is much more time consuming and although I have not checked the prices, I am sure it is much more expensive. However, even though it would be hard to get a perfect bait shape, you could do whatever personal pattern you wanted on the baits. You could also make personalized baits with writing, names or sports logos for fishing friends or all kinds of meat things I would assume. Check this video out and see what you think.

I would also imagine you could make a mold out of anything that is oven safe and make whatever design you wanted. That is just an idea for the creative minded folks.

I wonder if you could take the bigger baits out of this kind of plastic and dip them in heated clear plastisol for a nice smooth clear coat sealing look.

thank you for the link. This stuff is very interesting. I can see lots of possibilities with this stuff. Including working with it in our injection molding I'm sure that this stuff would work quite well in conjunction with hot plastic there might be a fusing problem don't know how hot that you have to shoot the plastic to make it work what I'm trying to say is you might have to put your molds with this stuff in the Elvin and then shoot plastic on over it. It seems like in a video that he was use in a injection mold to do this work with so I'm assuming that we can take our injection molds and do the same thing is he's done we will have to find out where to get their stuff that I would imagine that it could be available to Bass Pro or many other mail-order catalogs. But I do like the fact that you can mix two colors together to make a marble affect which I think is really cool. Besides spots so you're able to do many different designs with your plastic bait.

It is very interesting snake. I see lots of possibilities too. I was wondering about the bonding issues too. However if it bonds well, you could do so much with it. You could draw designs with it in your bigger molds very thin and then bake it to cure and then shoot the belly with regular injection plastic to make some cool baits. If it bonds well it could be awesome stuff. It did look like an injection mold he used in the video.

yes, I am dying to get my hands on some of that stuff to play with. I think we could have a ball with it. Just think of the possibilities of your twister tail in many other baits that we could have fun with putting spots on plastic baits is a thing that they hand mold people used to do. I called them flat molds or back in the Stone Age. But we you still have a mold company that made flat molds but large capacity in the way of cavities. I believe it was called beaver or green beaver something or other. If anybody knows of this outfit. Please let me know we have been searching for them used to be that we've used plastic in the past we did not heated up to put in the mold we put it in their cold and put the mold in the oven and heated up to 300 and some degrees I don't remember for about 20 min. or so. It did work quite well but you do not have a uniform plastic bait making a bass bait in the video like he did is something totally different I'm sure that they homemaker or I should say hobbyist could have a ball doing it that way for somebody is not going to make a lot of baits for personal use but the application of the stuff could be used very successfully making spots and lines pretty fast soul seeker get your first bottle in get with that. I will try to find the stuff in my catalogs and order a few bottles to play with.

I do not really have the money to buy much of that stuff right now. I do like it but I was mainly posting this for you snake. I know you love to try interesting new things and you at this time have more money to spend on the hobby than I do. I knew you would love this. I might see if I can buy 1 or 2 different colors and just see what I can do. If you find any of it and you try it, please post pictures and show me what you come up with. You are right, we could put spots or whatever on twister tails or anything. I am excited to see what you can do with it snake.

be glad to try it out if I find out where to buy it. If anybody knows who sills that stuff please let me know. I cannot find it in any of my catalogs. Apparently it is very new to the market . Yes we are very excited about messing with the stuff I'm sure that you can come up with some interesting baits. I would like to contact them, which I may follow that link and do so and get back to you guys on what they say.

Production wise it takes to long. Making lures for grins and giggles its fine. Just about the same stuff as creepy crawler goop. If anybody here is old enough to remember that Mattel toy. Excluding snake lol .

pondhopper, I know it is too slow for production. However for making some cool looking baits it would be nice. Also just playing with it in spare time would be fun. I remembered seeing a video one time of the creepy crawler goop.

You can get a lot of info at M J Thompsons creepy crawlers on the web, links will take you to old herters plastic molds.A lady on ebay sells some stuff called Pattie goop for using the old molds.My last comment was poking fun at snake I haven't pestered him in a long time. Spike IT sells Jel-a-Lure.

yeah we all like to aggrevate snake. I knew that spike it sells it but I do not have a magazine and have yet to try and look it up on line. I guess I need to do that

snake go to ispikeit.com they have it there. It is pretty dog gone expensive but I know you, you will try it out. So when you do let me see what you come up with. You might try this direct link to see if it gets you there.

I am dying to try this stuff out to see what we can come up with we are going to try to shoot it two different ways to see what happens one way we're going to put the stuff into the mold in shoot over it the other way we are going to put the mold in the oven bring it back out and shoot it it will be interesting to see what happens in any way that I use it definitely sperm mental stuff coming up guys I will have to find out what they put into the plastic to make it thick because I think we can make up the same stuff.maybe tomorrow I will experiment to see what will happen if we mix up some plastic and put it in the mold and put it in the oven and then shoot back over it, it would be the same principle is putting hot plastic in half the mold with a divider, but the only thing that you would have different is that you would be able to mix colors like marble also may be make dots.I just thought about something on my original Jilly jig molds this stuff would work perfect. If it didn't burn the feathers up.

Go for it Bob........me and Jeepguy will test them for ya. :)

you could bake up one half with whatever design and then put the mold together and shoot the other half to see if it bonds. This might be so cool to see what all you can do.

yes I could see all sorts of interesting designs be and made I'm thinking of putting a drop up by the and it shoots forward. So if it was soft or liquid it would put a line down your bait. I'm also wondering on my old jelly jig molds what I can do. I wonder if feathers can take 300° temperatures but there are other ways around that to put them on the jig head. That should be interesting because you can put spots on in different designs on your jelly jig bodies.
