Paudash Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I was looking at buying a plastics making kit but at a price of $200.00 to get started it seems like a lot of money. Has anyone tried it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landry Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I wanted to but good plastic is hard to get and it is VERY toxic. I bailed on the idea in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have 5-6 gravity molds I made. And with the help of a tooling buddy 15 injection molds. Most are 3 cavity all made of plaster Paris. You can re melt old plastic. Stay away from smelly ones like power bait. Get a micro wave from yards but buy good micro wave measuring cups. The cheapys explode. A good pair of welders gloves. No water near plastic and no water base scents. Only oil. You might save a few pennys on your baits but hardly worth it. I make my own designs so it's fun.

Musky or Specks Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 My buddy made his own but he owns a plastics factory so it was easy for him http://www.pikeshop.de/images/thumbnail/produkte/middle/ho001/ho001_30_ohcanada_org1280.jpg By the way despite lures proven success it just didn't make any money.
