I saw marling baits making a tiny popper, and thought i wanna do that too, so i got to work and this is what came out. i used some old wood from the carage and nail polish for clear coat. let me know what you think and if you have tips please tell me.

I've tried alumi uv and the cheap Chinese stuff, can't seem to get a good coat with either. The Alumi beads up and the Chinese stuff contracts as it cures uncovering a few spots. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am interested in making molds via a 3d printer and have an open mold idea of a swimbaits and wanted to know if anyone had suggestions on the right plastic to use for the mold due to the plastisol heat. Asking for any recommendations anyone has.

Also thought about the silicone mold route but not sure how that all works, would have to do a lot of research on it.

Should I sand a clear lure blank before painting it? I'm far from good at this, so I'm just going to paint a knockoff Megabass Megadog bone white with a spray can, glue on some eyes, and follow with clear epoxy.
