  11. Glide testing question

    in Grass Roots

    Posted

    Dan,

     

    Thank you for the great insight and also pointing me to the other thread. I have just started with this project and knew there would be bumps along the way. I totally understand where you are coming from by making the master and molding before cutting the bait. I wish had thought of that first. Would have saved me three carvings.. but ya live and ya learn! I will start a new carve probably next week and go about it that way.

  12. Glide testing question

    in Grass Roots

    Posted

    Okay so I am in the process of carving out a glide bait for a master mold for resin baits. My question is about tuning the glide before I make the mold. How would I go about testing out the master in the water to make sure it has the correct glide? Would I treat the wood before, test, then sand the joint till I got it right rinse and repeat? Does the wood even need to be treated before I put it in water if it is only to test the glide? I know it seems like a simple question I just do not want to ruin my master mold by testing it the "wrong" way. Any insight will be greatly appreciated!
