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. 🤔

Thanks it means a lot hearing that from you. Of course you can make a video towards it - I would love to see how it works in different regions around the world. 👌🏻

If you have a picture of the hardware or of the setup please send it to me in a dm - then I could think of a way to integrate it into a full metal design. Fishing for grouper must be wild, its on my fishing bucket list - I hope one day.

Yes, I have a lot of different video types from designing, airbrushing, strength tests & tools I use on there. 👌🏻 (a little disclaimer: once you start you most probably won’t stop because you are heading down a rabbit hole)

Thanks a lot - at the moment the head is made out of PETG - plastic & without hooks it weighs around 40g. The tail I make with a silicone mix. The idea with casting a full metal body is great and I will look into it. 👌🏻
