Slug mold completed

Big Pancho · Jul-22-2009, 12:32 AM

Hey gang got home really late tonight but was able to cast the slug mold at 7:30 PM and just took it out at 11:15 PM. Here is the first bait I poured in it. I will post other colors very soon. Capt G is there any type of paint that will stick to the plastic? I colored in the eyeballs with a marker but it is not going to work. Let me know if there is anything out there that I can use to paint in the eyeballs. Well gang getting late. Let me know what you guys think about the new slug. I am going to try it out this Friday. I hope it gets chewed. If it does I will post a report and some pictures of the fish it kills. Till next time.

Jannnetcraft has some airbrush paint that'll work.

Thanks Jeffrey for the positive feedback on my new bait and also for the information on the paint. Do you know what the paint is called?

I kinda like it with the blue marker eyes.
Get yourself some permanent Sharpee markers, and hit that eye with the blue again.
then take a lighter, and carefully melt the surface of the eye. It will seal in the marker, and will last longer than the bait will (hopefully it will get chewed up quickly).
When you do not hit with a flame, the Sharpee will do one of two things, or both:
rub off easily, or keep leaching into the bait until you can not longer see the color.

Try hitting the eyes first with a silver Sharpee, then hit with the royal blue Sharpee, then hit with the flame.
Give it a shot before you buy paints--there are several that work fine, but none that look that realistic for eyes, IMO.

Your forgot to photoshop out that "secret" pink block of C4 in the background.
