Post by: jfc32440 on 02/17/18 00:00 UTC

Ok on to my next project.which is a crab soft plastic im just wondering can i put foam into the mold and inject the plastic would it soak into the foam or would it be better to add the foam afterwards using foam for tops of claws what do people think here ?

Some things just have to be tried.

I've pondered a Crab starting with either the Back or the Belly of the 4.5" Swim Toad, adding Cherry Picker Claws and some Curltail for the Swimmers.  Open-pour them all together.
