Very cool stuff Ted. I saw Dahlberg's show doing similar stuff and have wanted to try it for a long time.

I used the regular not the white. The regular is stronger and has a shorter demold time. Also 6 bucks cheaper. I will get 25 usable needles from the 28 oz size. You also need to premeasure how much material you need to fill the mold or you will be throwing alot out either mixing too much or too little. I would like to make some swimmers but don't know if I really want to put the time and $ out to do it. I am real glad I tried it and it was fun and I learned alot but kinda takes the whole reason why I like doing this out of it. I like building whatever pops into my head and I get kind of uninterested in doing more than a few of any one thing. I had visions never having to turn another plug again. Lasted about 1 day.

Keep turning and carving plugs Ted as i don't have nearly as many of your plugs as i need.

I still need to get you another one of these. I fished next to you on the beach in Rhody when you lost one of the ones in the pic. I will put one of the needles aside for you too. Hope you might stop by the plugfest I need to pick your brain about something.
