started pouring some rubber
So I finally got around to making some eel proto types. I made the masters out of white cedar as its soft and easy to sand and shape. I made the mold from silicone and I tried pouring some rubber for the first time this afternoon.
My first batch I think I heated too much, ended up with some little empty cavities. the second batch I heated less and poured slower and they came out much better. I need to clean them/trim the excess a little but weight wise and shape wise I think I have what I want.
These weigh right around 2.5 oz, the longer one is maybe an 1/8 oz heavier. I like to fish the big hogies a lot so I started with one that size then made another a little bigger.
In anyone else here trying this ? I have a bunch of questions..
