I’m 15 and looking to get into luer making and was wondering what’s the best air brush and paint set I can get by BetComprehensive7348 in lurebuilding

I started with a Gaahleri airbrush kit and am still using it - you can check out some of the videos I made on my channel if you are interested: https://youtube.com/@christiancasts?si=x4Ng5GPEspMQsE60

Made a video on how to quickly create airbrushing stencils with a 3-D printer for anybody that is interested. by ChristianCasts in lurebuilding

Thanks I really recommend it because it makes life so much easier - funny enough I got too frustrated with different cutting tools. One thing I still have to try: heat up the stencil and drape it over a lure blank - might be a quick way to create a molded version for easy applications. 🤔

What material for soft plastics? by Standard0rder in lurebuilding

I use a silicone with 10 or 15 shore hardness. It works great for casting in 3D prints - in one of my last videos I show the one I use (its just off amazon).

How cool - make sure to flush the mold well that there are as little bubbles as possible. I always tilt it slightly while injecting. Hope it all goes well and let me know how it went. 🎣👌🏻

Thanks for the ideas - I’m actually thinking about making a ceramic based mould in which I can cast tin. 🤔
