lures.. making em

[Tiny Tin]

i've been doing a bit of research on making your own SP's. think i have a few bits sussed ready to have a go. before i do i thought i'd ask if anyone here knows where the best place to buy the plastic is? does anyone know if there's somewhere that make moulds for you. i know i can make them from plaster of paris but i would prefer to get some made in aluminium. just about to order a shed (7mx4mx3mh) then i can fit martys rod building gear in there and make a station for building lures. right next to the home brew station..just round the corner from the tv..lol can't wait

The yanks are big on it.

I looked into it in Australia a while ago, there are some plastic moulding companies on the net that sell kits.

Apparently it is not plastic but some kind of vinyl.

I cannot find the aussie site at the moment, but youtube has some good clips of yanks making home made bass plastics.

cheers

getting ally moulds made would be pretty expensive

try silicon moulds

thanks guys..i wouldn't mind putting a bed in the shed..lol missus would get upset. probably have to have a shed warming party or sommat lol. i've seen the yanks doing plassies it's what got me interested. they make some pretty good stuff. i thought ally coz i dunno really just thought that would be the way to go. where would ya find silicon? gotta have a tv so i can play vids on how to make all tis stuff..just hope i don't confuse brewing beer with pouring plassies..or maybe that's an idea..beer tasting lures.. i have seen some moulds but not the shape i want..more looking to be done:woohoo: whooo hooo

haha dont look at it as having a bed more as storing a spair mattress.

Keep us posted if you find something cause I would love to get into making plastics as well.

i did some checking up about making plastics a while back and found the big stumbling block

to be getting the chemicals. a few of the key ingredients can not be sent through the mail and are very hard to find in this country
