Couldn’t decide how I wanted to mold the design so I settled for just wrapping the master with some foil tape to beat the heat. Worked surprisingly well. Next time I’ll probably spray a little mold release on the dipstick first.
First time attempting something like this- I realized before I started that I needed a taller dipping vessel, but overall I’m happy with the direction the idea is going. This was a trial run but I have several ideas to hopefully make the design look really cool. I backfilled the body with some plastic to add more mass. I’m on a quest to design the perfect squid lure someday- this is just another attempt to move in the right direction. I have plans to make a floater design as well.
