Hi there,
I'm currently using a two piece mold made with Alumilite HS2 to mold a rat fishing lure.
For pouring the resin bait I'm using Alumilite White and Alumilite Microbubbles (10:1 resin to microbubbles). The problem I'm facing is the ears and paws which have relatively shaper edges are not coming out properly (see photo below).
I've tried burping, swishing, moving the resin all around, using a sander to vibrate out bubbles, pouring at different angles, pouring before I feel heat, after I feel heat to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what might fix this problem? Btw, I was able to get the ears to cast properly but it required opening the mold and pouring individually which is less than ideal.
Thank you so much in advance,
BLR
