Multiple jointed swimbait! 3 or more pieces, with dimples where you need to drill for your joints and hardware!
I was thinking that’s very useful. Im sure they were already on the same line of thought as well.
Same thing I was going to comment
Yes!
I saw we just make it so the hardware get put onto the mold before you close it then the resin bonds it all into the hard bait!
BINGO!!!
Pro tip guys. Sprinkling some baby powder on the mold cavity will help demolding much more than those aerosol mold releases.
Thanks for the tip, we will try that out!
There is a Gypsum mould release liquid for dental lab acrylic denture making that might work,
It also breaks surface tension of the resin which helps cut down on any surface bubbles if you aren't pressure casting or anything like that. Dusting molds is really common in prop / costume making.
The difference between science and screwing around is writing it down.
Well, there is also the scientific method thing. 😉
I can see the jointed swim bait ideas spinning in my brain now!
Yesss! Same here!
That’s pretty cool. Thanks Jason and Nate for the science lesson!
Haha no problem! We figure we would answer this question before someone destroys their own mold! Worked great but I have a feeling that your mold might be toast without that mold release!
I'm thinking you can drill some holes and put some weight in it, put some eyes on it and give it a go! Nicely done!
Applied Physics actually… ”Science” is the dogmatic Leftist cult that is taken on Pure BlindFaith and “Must not be questioned under any circumstances or you are Racist, because it’s “SCIENCE”..”…🤔
Welcome to post Obama
Been doing this to make vacuum form stencils over the hard master. Makes painting details much more pleasant.
You guys make some awesome molds
Thank you! Testing our resin for some future projects!
The BEST molds!
I call dibs on the first hard bait mold! Will be a perfect addition to my instagram segment "i got no clue what i'm doing, but i'm doing it anyway" :D
Thanks guys, made my monday a bit better!
bahahahaha
Wow that cool fish figure.... count that as sample
Marling is here yessss
I see some huge potential with this approach and application very cool idea. Omg the possibilities are endless.
Hahaha yes!
If you guys make a jointed resin swim bait mold 🤯 I’m 100 % buying it same day it’s released
Glad you're finally making some videos
Thanks! Stoked to finally dive in!
This has opened so many beautiful doors of possibilities
That's very interesting !!!
Multi part lures next ??
Even more Simple Lure Bodies for ...... dare I say ....... LEAD pouring ?????
Epic Bait Molds off to begin another Venture !!!
Haha lead is on the list of things we want to jump into this year!
Finally on UA-cam! Thanks guys for your great work!
My channel is going great and I'm totally inspired by you two guys!
Thanks a lot! I owe you much!
Thank you! That is awesome to hear that your channel is going great, keep it up!
I smell some glide bait molds coming soon.
I think if you made some smaller simple shaped lipless crank baits, that’d be the best thing to pour. Having your own limitless supply of crank baits with the option of adding a lip could be very handy.
Sectional swim baits, minnows, crank baits, top water...all kinds of lures !!!
Wow that was awesome 😍 mold on! 👍
New business there bro. Imagen customer asking for molds for stuff like keychain company logo emblems. Souvenirs and all kinds of things. Everything this days is profitable.
That’s an interesting idea!
Comment for the algorithm. Additionally, if you read this, that bait WILL swim, but you would have to "carve" the tail to get rid of the paddle and get it something slimmer. Or cut the tail off completely and add a rear spinner/treble.
Fr
This is a very useful method if you are looking to make custom vacuum clamshell packaging for your swimbaits. Thank you 🙏🏻 I have been trying g to figure out how to get a hard copy of my swimbaits for the vacuum box I made! Stoked!!
I definitely see body baits in the future
Awesome video guys. Out of respect for mold makers. I would never use resin to replicate somebody else's molds. You guys work wayyy to hard to make your molds and I want to respect that. Also there is going to be a noticeable difference between a bait made with your CNCed mold and a silicone replica.but like you said, Its a great thing to know, especially if you want to make a mold of your own design. We love seeing the videos guys.
Thank you and we appreciate that! We put a lot of hard work and hours/days of design into each and every mold!
don't know if it helps on these or not but you can also use a plastic syringe to inject resin, I started this on silicone molds as sometimes I had issues with just pouring the resin. Atleast the resin I use doesn't stick on the syringe walls and I can just remove it from the back of the syringe after it cures.
Epic details with a resin hard bait then drill hook holes, lip slots, spinners, hybrid hardbody/soft tails?
A lift kit, some low pro tires, and a bangin exhaust!
These are gonna make some great Christmas tree ornaments!
Haha
This would be handy if you had line tie inserts for a crankbait that can go into the mold.... it may float super fast unless there also was a lead insert, and may not make any noise, but many successful crankbaits have no beads either. Very cool..
You could do 1/3 to 1/2 the front hard resin with a soft swimming replaceable tail
I'm really looking forward to what you guys can come up with now!
Bait making will never be the same.
We have some big things lined up for this year!
Thanks guys, I have some ideas and this is the information I needed.
I was wondering about this! Awesome Video guys! a Lipless Crankbait mold would be Epic!
Thank you! We agree on the lipless crankbait mold!
1. Nice to see that Tom Keen has found a job after Blacklist
2. Pls Drill a thin hole through the length of the bait in the center (from mouth to 'hip') cut of the tail, put it back in the mold, close the mold and press some of the jelly Plastik that you normally use through the bait. So a new tail is being created that is able to wobble.
I hope you understand my idea.
Hahaha we totally understand that idea! Hard body/soft tail!
Do I foresee some awesome lipless, squarebill, deep diver, muskie lure, etc. Molds for resin casting?!!?! This is going to be amazing to see what comes from this. So many blanks for custom painting etc. Maybe a slot to hold the perfect weight distribution of ball bearings or something like that built in? SKIES THE LIMIT!
HAhaha you sound like you are as excited as we are about this new concept!
@@EpicBaitMolds most definitely! I'm very excited to see what you imagine into reality!
Pretty sure u can use almost any 2part epoxy for this if you want too (after mixing the epoxy blow on it with a heatgun to make it very "runny?" onstead of stiff then pour it in)
And yes not for your ordinary softbait molds would be more fit for crankbaits
Aluminium crankbait molds here we come
I think this is great. I would like to see crank bait molds. Making the crank bait float might be problem.
I think a cool thing to do now that you know this would be like those tables you see with things in them under the resin top. make a bunch of different resin lures all painted nice and then make them into a table.
That would be amazing!!!
Take a old Pressure cooker, or buy a used one for dental labs (or new) instal in the lid a tire valve stem and a pressure gauge (look up a lab cooker on the web) Place mould filled with resin, and apply 20 lbs of air ,like filling a tire. Release pressure and open when cured and no bubbles
I was curious myself. This is great!! I want to try this on my grave digger jig mold just to see if I can make my swimbaits dive. Thanks for the video!
And NOW I have a reason to buy “soft plastic” molds O.o
If you wanted to do a two pour of soft and hard the mold could be modified from the type you have shown. Making the "leak spot" the second pouring sprue and adding a tail insert that restricts the mold for the hard pour to be removed after cure but before the soft pour. I would suggest that you shape a spine or tang of sorts into the insert. This would increase the surface area of bonding potential between the two medium.
I hope this is functional enough to give you some ideas.
I also realize that makes it a 2 pour and 5 step process that may be more headache than two molds and a bonding solution afterwards.
Make a mold of a pencil popper or darter or something like the diawa swimmer. The possibilities are endless
Those would both be awesome!
I'm not particularly interested in setting up a whole soft plastic operation for how little I use plastics.. But being able to easily make reliable swimbaits, now that I would definitely be looking into
My biggest question though is do you guys ship internationally?
We do! There is an additional shipping fee but we ship ups 2 day internationally so you get your molds fast!
If you don't see options at checkout please email us at epicbaitmolds@gmail.com with the molds you would like and we can send you a custom invoice with shipping.
You should totaly make a full buy list. I would buy hardbait mold
That sick you can duplicate your mold with silicone Version because you can just copy it Great video
those can be masters to make your own molds
Dude! You could do the same as your soft baits but make resin crank bait molds!
Heck yes!
It would be a good tool for making rubber moldes for injectable soft plastics. Use the resin to make a mold and then use the mold from resin bait to inject for soft plastics.
Bravo!
I think you should pour the tail with salt water plastics, leave them in the mold. Then pour the resin in and let it set up with the soft tail fused with the resin and make is a hard bait with a mobile tail
That would be amazing!
@@EpicBaitMolds well let see is fellas! Lol great work brother. Love seeing people our age working with their hands
A sander works well to make bubbles rise in resin.
Ahhh yes, like an oscillating sander?
A suggestion, turn it into a small trophy head. Like "Congrats kid, this is your first time fishing and you caught a fish! Here's a little gold fish to remember it by."
Haha
Glidebait. Make the mold with a tail slot for rubber
i see crank bait molds in the future
Dude you should totally make some molds of marling’s old lipless crank baits or hard swim baits or something.
We are looking into some new designs!
I sense new hard bait molds coming up
Hehe
On the west coast we use alot of clamshell cut bait immitating resin baits, mostly to intice by scent. Would be cool to utilise a diffrent angle of whats capable here.
Marling sent me
I was only thinking about this myself not to long ago..
Surely #MarlinBaits can make that swim with a few tweaks..
1 day challenge video..20mins to make and hours to get it to swim and weighted..
Haha I like that idea!
I was not expecting that to work
Maybe a variation of an open pour Prey bait in future... would stop some emails
Haha we have some new open pours in the works!
Double jointed swim bait you have to get marling to finish it
this is great! would love to see how it might swim.....as is but you could make a mold with segmented sections....as others have suggested in the comments...let us know when you make it!
Now you kan make hybrids 😁
Yes!
add springs or hinges for hard baits so you have a separate tail and head.
Now you got a keychain
Haha
Key ring maybe ? Just a few touches with paint 😁
Make a mode for a jointed swim bait
Straight resin is cool, but lets see it with 9% microspheres now :)
I was one of the people who emailed you about this
Haha thanks for the email and helping us make the video!
Cut out joints cool paint job catch fish
Its about time you got the You Tube channel! I'm afraid showing this resin pour you have OPENED a can of worms for us guys who pour CHIT ! LoL
Didn't read all the comments so this might be a duplicate, after we watched this video, wife said paint it and hang it on a Christmas tree.
Um. If people do this they could just make their own molds out of silicon or such materials
Of course it is not going to ruin the aluminum mold. Why would people think it would???? Come on people, use your common sense, PLEASE!!!
Amazing well done by the way I'm a big fan of the man and the fishing lure..I subscribed to the channel
Thank you!
Do-it-yourself (Hard) Swimbait mold! Yes please.
A mold for lipless stick baits would probably work well
Agreed!
Can you do a resin cast for the front and a soft poor for the tail? With a set hook.
We should try that!
expanding polyurethane gorrila glue wil be bad news I feel unless you don't unmount it untill it's like a rock tgen use air pressure to get behind glue to pop it out
You could make tasmanian devil type lures with it 👍
Could make a hard top water bate mold and or your own stile of the Whopper popper
Crankbaits and topwaters!!
Totally!
That would be sick if you made them for hard baits.
"Don't know why you would want to do that" ??? Seriously? I can think of dozens of really cool reasons to do that.
use clap to plug your holes, try to degas it after you pore it in
Hybrid mould next?
I can see where this would be useful.. when you want a resin jig head and a soft trailer.
You should have done the tail in soft and body in hard to see if they will bond.
these might not swim but they would make great key chains . just a thought
Wet streaks? I got those one time after some bad chipotle
Hahaha
If you used hooks with the resin, you would have a floater that I am sure fish would take. Nice video either way. Thumbs Up!
Mek works great with aluminum molds and epoxy
MEK? Methyl Ethyl Keytone?
Yeah where I used to work we would apply small amounts and let it dry if not freyolk works good too but I probably botched the spelling
Chop of the tail, stick some screw eyelets, add weight to the bottom, cut the slot for the bib and instal one... Voilà nice jerk bait done 👌
Still waiting on some lead pouring molds Jason
I know, we are getting there!
Coustom pour resin body swim bait with screw lock for interchangeable custom pour soft plastics paddle tail
I think it would be dope if you guys used this as a way to make a segmented bait
That’s a good idea
@@EpicBaitMolds thank you, best of luck on that front
