Bait molds

[Rich]

Can the molds from bait mold be sprayed with automotive paint so the lures do not stick in the mold, or has anyone tryed this.

Have you tried pam spray? Silicone spray?

I'll assume you have the stone variety of mold. Short answer, no.

DON'T use any cooking variety of spray as a release agent. The plastic is hot enough to cook the oils, leaving a sticky film. Personally I use a shot of WD-40, then lay the mold half face down on a paper towel for a minute to allow any liquid to drain away from any ribbing. I'll give the mold a touch-up with WD every five or six injections. WD helps but honestly it doesn't do a ton, but its better than not treating the mold.

Silicon spray has been my choice.

I don't own any of those molds, but I assuming worm oil doesn't work?

[ctom]

Baitmold's website offers a "grease" said to use as a lubricant in the stone molds, but I can't see it working without filling up tiny details and ribbing in some of the baits. I just give my molds a shot of WD, dry the mating surfaces after allowing any excess to come out of those small, tight areas, and inject away. I would imagine that silicone spray would do about the same thing as long as its a colorless spray.

I use worm oil, but you have to be careful not to use to much and you have to repeat application after about ever third injection.

I do the same as Gary brush worm oil lightly and don’t have any demolding issue.
