Molding & Casting Fish short video

I did a short video of molding and casting a fish. I hope to do a more detailed video from start to finish with narrations.

Thanks so much Aaron!

Been admiring your repros work and the amount of work you have been getting! Weather here in Hawaii is horrendous and stormy! Business is slow and Im hoping it picks up soon so I can get back to my passion of fiberglassing and painting fish!

Aloha

Thank you for the nice replies!
That footage was taken many years ago and I only got to edit it today. The weather here in Hilo is horrendous raining and storming and the only thing to do was sit by the computer and edit video.

So now everyone knows how cave man like I mold fish. I usually use my 9 foot sandbox but this one was posed straight so i did it right on my work table.

Aloha,looking for the sun to shine!

Yes it is bondo! I use the lightweight stuff that comes with the blue paste.
As for silicone, I use both dragonskin and rebound 25 by smooth on.

Brother Rick

Thank you for the very kind coments!
Video has become one of my passions and I invested in a small fortune on a pro camcorder and some editing programs.

I hope to contribute a little of what i know and what I am doing out here in Hawaii.

I have been filming a lot of stuff of my father in law and his fishing the old Hawaiian way with a bamboo pole.

As for myself, I prefer fishing with the updated graphite poles and reels! I hope to film a few shore fishing for giant trevally known here as the ulua. we use a slide bati technique.

I sure wish the weather would let up here in Hawaii. It is cold and rainy and my workshop in flooded from the rains. I miss fishing and making fish!

Will be sure to share more !

Hi Don

That material is called High Fibe and it is a bedding material I wish was accessable in Hawaii. I can only get it by ordering in 50 lbs bags from California at a place called Hills Brothers. It is great stuff when molding fish! You can reuse it over an over again just be sure to add in Pine sol to get rid of the rotten fish smell.

 

GRUCH
LOL! Fumes is something I will never get used to when molding and casting fish.

Thanks for watching the rest of my vids Tracy! Those are segments from a full lenght movie I am making of my father inlaw.

 

Hey bill4 bass

It is really something you dont get in one try, but my intent is to do just that to build confidence in those who have the passion and drive to learn to mold.

Once you do learn it, It is a knowledge worth it's weight in gold!

Good Luck
Layne
