Tricks On Making Pop Mold Baits Shiny?

Featured Replies

Anyone have any tricks or tips on how to get POP molds to press out shiny plastics?

I'm not liking the full finish. I know it's more of a fishermen cosmetic but like the shine personally.

I saw a truck on using 50/50 water and school glue, epoxy, basically breaking the contact and creating a barrier between the plastic and POP to let is cute and shine and not soal into the mold. But don't want to lose defenition in my molds. Anyone have any tricks to get some shine out fresh from the mold?

Well I tried the glue/water and it worked ok.

No one else has any tricks?

Try spraying it with a heat resistant finish or coating with epoxy. You need to make it glossy and smooth for the bait to be glossy and smooth.

I coated mine with a urethane. Don't lose any details and good shiney baits. Took like 10 coats

Thin coat of epoxy or remake the mold with silicon.

epoxy is the way to go for my pop molds :).  Single coat for me do fine hehehe

Clear fingernail polish.

Waft the baits over with a flame after you take them out of the mold. It gives them a nice shiny finish.
