Thanks Glenn!

They look great.    Keep up the good work!

Very nice work!  I'm impressed.

That is some Grade A work, they look great. Are you using an epoxy top-coat?

You busted me Whittler.That is actually a new top coat that is water born.It actually has a tough finish(not as tough as epoxy).The only kickbacks are,its not as glossy and it has a 30 day curing time before it is 100% absorbtion free.Do you use epoxies?I have heard they are hard to work with.And I noticed there pretty expensive.

Oh yeah,THANKS GUYS!

I do use an epoxy top-coat on my baits. After trying about everything from automotive clear coats to bar top finishes I have setteled on two types of epoxy. With most epoxy you will need to rotate the baits slowly while the epoxy sets to get a smooth finish. A wood bait must be sealed, once water gets to the wood you have problems, plastics does'nt matter, just makes a better finish.

IF your trying to make the weighted falcon hooks the best way I know how is to wrap the hook in solder wire and shape it with a solder gun.  It's very difficult to get lead to flow in such a small space like you are talking about unless you use one of those spinning molds.

Looks like your post got put in the wrong spot.I don't have alot of exprience pouring,but the guys I know usually have a diecast mold made at a machine shop.What you need is a prototype of what you want.I would try to post this as a new topic.You should get some good advice.Good Luck CJ
