Making "open top" lures symmetrical
Posted: Thu May 10, 2018 11:49 am
Hi Larry,
The War Department gave me some lure molds she found on-line as a "Just Because" gift. One was a shrimp tail, and the other a curly tail. Both are open top molds, so the finished products pop out of the molds with a flat side. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make the tails symmetrical and without the flat side? I was thinking that I could throw a blank made out of Super Plastic, then make a second blank, and glue them together at the flat side, and then make a mold of that. The thing is that might make the final product too bulky.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
