Rogervang Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 It looks like is swims flawlessly with the muti-joints. Glad to hear your aren't giving up on the glide. It'll be worth every second when your finish. danthefisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynem Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Nice work Dan. That 5 piece looks like a keeper. You should be able to make a lot of variations with that master mold. danthefisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinpunk Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) That swimmer looks great Dan, glad you could salvage the beat up glide. Looking forward to your results. Innovative use of the guitar stand by the way. Edited November 15, 2017 by fishinpunk danthefisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to make a lot of variations with that master mold. Thank you Wayne! Yes, I'm glad I decided to carve the master as one piece. It's more work for me now, but I have the freedom to make many variations in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphite.Greg Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) If you are going to do multiple pours (production) you are going to HAVE to degas in order to have any consistency in your baits. Especially if you are mixing in balloons. Every time you mix you add air and it's the number one cause of pin holes. Pin holes are evil and must be eliminated.
