Guys

Had another go at a smaller bullet spoon. This time I made a wooden model and the then cast that into plaster of Paris. Below is a pic of the final product. It weighs in at 44g so when rigged with a swivel and hook should be about 1.5 ounces. Perfect for my Exeller Rod and ready for Natal Snoek and Garrick.

Cheers

I have used older un-used spoons but it is available at non ferrous metals, it is called wm90 and is white metal and tin alloy so I am told. It is what most guys are using these day.

I have made about 10 of them out of the mould so far and looks good for another 10 at least.

I have some meshing my Dad gave me to strengthen the mould. It looks like a pool net meshing and seem to work.

I am looking to re-inforce the p.o.p. with some diatom marble powder as it doesn't draw water. The wire mesh also makes good sense - ogiesdraad.

I had some somewhere in the garage.
Got it from a friend who uses it as a filler for casting aquarium ornaments from Polyester resin.

There is a cheap filler called Kulu. It's the hardest stuff I've ever come across.

Ask them if it works with your application.

Sanding etc is not an option. I tried and came a distant second.

Hi Ignoblis.
I'll dig though my archives and post the info I can find.
As far as I know, it relates to strength of the casting, it acts like the stones you add to concrete mix, and it reduces your p.o.p and water requirements for the mix.
Due to the crystal nature of the marble, it also gives you a much smoother (exact copy of master) when making the mould.
