    I wish I didnt have to chop up the video but youtube has limits.

    I added music this time, mainly because I left my radio on while recording lol
    If anyone has questions feel free to ask away!

    And I would like to shout out a BIG THANKS! to all who have helped me out on here, You guys are great!

    I am 1/2 way into making a mold of a small Crappie right now, thanks alot I could not even attempted it without your video.
     
  15. Josh,
    which high fiber did you use? I called to get some and they told me that high fiber was similar to a sheet of fiberglass. They rattled off a few others that it may be but I was not sure neither were they. I searched the archives but am not finding any special one that people use. Thanks for all the help so far. These tutorials are great.
     
  16. Its called High Fibe 210 I think
    They may have raised their prices slightly.
