Great information, thank you for taking the time to make this for us. I broke a blade off my old minkota trolling motor, no replacement to be found. I wonder if I could make a mold like this but pour some kind of liquid plastic that sets up hard. Great vid !

[@Fishnlife423]

Thank you for watching!!! I thank you could maybe by using some type of impact resistant plastic. Or possibly using fiberglass and reinforcement with fiberglass matt.

[@chrissewell1608]

While tubular pvc pipe works just fine. You can heat pvc pipe with a hair dryer or heat gun, etc. To the point, you can easily reshape it into a square, or rectangular shaped pipe!

[@jameshendrick4070]

Hi great vid goin to give it go soon 🤞What did you use as lubricant to stop 2halfs stickin?

[@Fishnlife423]

@@jameshendrick4070 I used worm oil that I use on soft plastics. But you could use a Vaseline or olive oil or even vegetable as long as it keeps it from sticking.

[@hotrod9873]

Nicely done 👍

[@Onur.T101]

You did a great job, what is that tube you mixed with bondo?

Yes I'd like to know how you made your 3d print

[@Fishnlife423]

I'll do a video on it an get it uploaded.

[@gregdudley1760]

Cool thanks

[@kamarte]

Great job! As a safety recommendation, it's safer and possibly cheaper to use plaster specially during pouring. Perhaps using heat resistant silicone is the best.

[@seymourwrasse3321]

what are you worried about?

[@johnmundorff4752]

How did u make the jig head on your 3d printer?

[@Fishnlife423]

I printed two halfs an glued them together.

[@Fishnlife423]

I used a CAD program. I'm working on uploading the file to thingaverse I will add the link to the video

[@johnmundorff4752]

Thanks again good video

[@surfingfireman]

Would making a bondo mold like this work for soft plastics as well?

[@Fishnlife423]

I use fiberglass resin instead of Bondo for soft plastics because it's thinner and easier to use because it flows into the small crevices easier. I've got a video on my channel showing me using an open pour mold that I made from fiberglass resin and in the future, I'm going to do a video on how I make those.

[@surfingfireman]

Cool. Thanks.

[@scottmcmasters8005]

Well sonofabitch! Bondo never had crossed my mind for this application. Genius. Cool af man. Gonna try this right away. This video earned you an enthusiastic subscriber. Thanks for posting this invaluable information. Tight lines man.

Your welcome thank you for subscribing!!

[@russellt9059]

How and what did you make the sprew out of

[@Fishnlife423]

I made it with a 3-d printer but you could make it using pretty much anything. If you really wanted to you could do it without the sprew and drill it out using a step down bit. Or you could carve one out of wood.

[@johnbrowder1771]

Have you tried using a 2"x4" rectangular pvc 1foot long & cutting it in 4" long sections. this will make three 4 jig molds. Cut 4 slots in 4" side down 1.25" for the hook shafts, this will allow you to intially put playdo on the bottom .75" thick on first pour. Then once set flip remove playdo & pour other side.
