Making Mack Stripes

I never do it because they alway look terrible when I try, I know that some guys cut or burn stencils and some use a dremel to make a metal template...I think this is going to work pretty well...I've used this latex for years for mold making, Michael's has it...I printed a mackeral pic doubled back to back and taped it to the plug, the resulting template will be fit snugly to the contour of the plug, for different size plugs simply enlarge or reduce the image on your computer before printing...this stuff will last a long time if you boil it briefly to vulcanize it...I have molds that I've been using for 20 years..
