Siebert Outdoors Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 On my next soft plastic mold. I'm going to buy a Delmart Big thing mold but I want another one too. Any suggestions? Ones I'm thinking about. Fluke mold 6" Robo look alike mold 5.5" Quote
Super User Munkin Posted November 21, 2007 Super User Posted November 21, 2007 I have my eyes on that 2 piece 5" shakey worm mold myself. Just received 7 molds from Lurecraft that should keep me busy for a little while though. Allen Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 21, 2007 Author Posted November 21, 2007 I had my eye on that one too but I couldnt swing the $$ with the other one. I really do like that mold too. Quote
dampeoples Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 That thing mold sure is pretty! As far as another mold, I'd look to the Fluke, I got one of those as well, but it's hard to beat a Fluke! Well, unless you go with the trick worm This is so addicting! I think if we didn't sell them to make a bit back, we'd all be tossed out of the house on our ears, at least I would I blame the mold makers, though, it's quick easy, and makes me feel better Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted November 26, 2007 Author Posted November 26, 2007 I hear ya DP, it is addicting. The best thing about AL molds is you can get almost all your $$ back most of the time. I just sold off 2 of mine to help pay for these. That trickworm is now added to the decision list. I need to make up my mind asap. Quote
dampeoples Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 I was hoping Bob would come out with something new, but no luck so far Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 I would really like to see what those guys have on file. I bet they have some sweet stuff. I bought a custom made one from a guy and never seen anything like it. Quote
dampeoples Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Bob's stuff is online, and most will send you a list of what they have on file if you ask. A few of mine, I'm the only person that has them. Maybe I was the onyl one silly enough to spend that much on the molds Quote
Super User Munkin Posted November 28, 2007 Super User Posted November 28, 2007 Maybe I was the onyl one silly enough to spend that much on the molds I am in that boat with you! Allen Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 Maybe I was the onyl one silly enough to spend that much on the molds I am in that boat with you! Allen I am too. I've got alot wrapped up in this hobbie, and I dont even have much. Quote
dampeoples Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Shhh Someone that's not supposed to might find out Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 anyway, I think I'm going with the fluke mold. ;D Quote
dampeoples Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Sweet! I got the 2-piece, not figured out how to get the tail to pour all the way, but honestly have only poured a very few out of it, been trying to get some paint projects finished up (repaint of one of those bass mailboxes!) But I'm thinking that gouging the bottom vent just a hair will do it. The one's that I poured, if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know, though! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 I'm getting the 1 piece for double, triple, + pours. Plus I've got a real good idea on a way to pour this thing to get alot different action then a store bought fluke. I'm going to call it the shake shad. LOL. Quote
dampeoples Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 The 2-piece is a one piece with a flat top piece, so it can be poured as a 1-piece very easily, I thought about that as well, but it's nice to have the ability to do it either way. I pretty much use plain pearl white flukes, but I have the option! The cost is a lot more, but hey, who's counting! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 Me, I'm counting. I"m also wanting a trickworm mold or robo worm mold. Extra 20-30 will get close to buying it. I have been looking at that 2 piece too. Ah crap. Now I dont know again. :-/ Quote
dampeoples Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 If it didn't sell, a guy had a trickworm mold he was selling at TU in the classifieds a month or so ago, don't really know what he wanted for it, I never clicked on it. I'm done with molds, except for getting extra cavities of what I have for a few, too close to Santa time, and I need some more paint stuff badly! I like to paint better anyway, but the worms are fun too! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 I'd like to get into the cranks too but I dont think that is a good idea. To many hobbies already and the crank one seems the most time consuming and artistic. I cant even draw a stick guy right. Once I get some free time I'm going to make about 10 plaster molds. Got any extra al molds laying around? Quote
dampeoples Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Cranks are very fun to do, for me at least. Well, the painting part Nah, don't have any extra molds, I got rid of a bunch of stuff earlier this year, mostly LC stuff, but about 10-12 Al molds as well, all things I never found myself using, so they had to go! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 Dang I was hopping to get some molds cheaper. Yeah, I dont have painting talant. I leave that up to you guys. How are you pouring that fluke mold? You pouring real fast to where the tail doesnt fill because of an air pocket? Does the back look alot better with the top on it or if you just pour it in the one piece. How much difference is there really? Quote
dampeoples Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Not pouring it fast, I think it's just too thin to fill, being a one-piece that's pretty much just got a flat top mold on it, and a sprue hole cut. I was gonna try to cut the vent a little larger, hoping that would work, but if not, I can always pour the tails, close, then pour the rest. Could probably do 1/2 pours that was as well, pour the first, close then fill the remaining. There isn't any difference, if you took a one piece mold and put a flat sheet of anything over it, you'd have the same mold, after drilling out a sprue, of course. I have only painted for a little over a year, you can make your talent up as you go along I've just spent a lot of time practicing, and even more learning about the paint itself, as well as mixing and such. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 that helps alot. Thanks. I'm going with the 1 piece. Now to go spend 2 large, better check to see if I need anything else first. : Quote
