    As another fisher person, I’m interested in this. This could open a whole new world for wannabe lure makers. I can see myself dabbling in this since it appears cheap and easy enough to engage in.

      Yes. It definitely opens up a whole new world. With let’s resin liquid silicone you never have to worry about warping your molds as it cures at room temp so no heating required. It’s cheap, easy and worth it. Only baits I haven’t worked out yet printing are spinner baits.

      Thank you! Means a lot. The plastic I use is Lets resin liquid silicone. No need to be heated and cures very quickly.

        Ooh neat! Does any old filament work for silicone molding? I could imagine for some it might like stick or be harder to remove

          That’s the beauty of let’s resin liquid silicone. You don’t have to heat it up for curing, so you can use any filament even basic pla. This liquid silicone cures at room temperature.
