2-1/2" Fry bait shads
« on: 03/19/22 13:33 UTC »
I love working with this mold, all of the fry molds for that matter. This one happened to stick to my hands this morning and I decided I needed some multi color frys for the box and used all re-melts to whip these up. Everything used here except the hot orange and party crasher glitter is from Do-It's fine line up of crafting products.



I used a dap stick to dot the throat area of each cavity then quickly followed up with a quick drizzle of chartreuse across the belly area. Then I used a small spoon to add the clear/partycrasher glitter to top off the belly sections. A smoke purple with purple .008 glitter and violet hilites was injected across the back. Do-It's Precision Pearl, Attack series, eyes were added then the bodies were given a cover dip in straight clear plastic.

I can see a crappie hanging on one of these already. Monday they'll get a real time test.
