Ohhhh.....boy.
« on: 06/29/15 12:19 UTC »
This one is a keeper.

I was toying in the garage this morning to cool down after picking raspberries. Hot and humid here today. I was clearing up the bench and needed to clean up the 2.5" Wutzit stinger mold. When I finished wiping it up good I started to put other stuff, like glitter and colorants, away. I just got this brain storm on clear with purple and blue glitter over clear with silver glitter and with a chartreuse line.....sort of staying with the purple/chartreuse color I favor so much. So cleaning up aside, I had to do it. And I think its a keeper.

I really like that. I've been making swimbaits (2 to 4.5 inches) using just glitter, but I like that chartruse stripe so much; I'm going to make another bunch of glitter baits with the stripe!

Tom, I really like that.  If you had a little bit bigger mold I would be hitting you up for some of those my friend.

ABH....have you tried this line stuff yet? You're making some great looking baits and this process is way easier than it looks or seems it to be. If not, get out a spoon to fill a side of the mold's cavities and dab some color before injecting. Clamp the mold flat to the bench top and shoot straight in from the side. Give it a go, bud!
