This is really cool! What kinda plastic are you filling the molds with? I don't know much about fishing lures

Thank you! Means a lot. The plastic I use is Lets resin liquid silicone. No need to be heated and cures very quickly.

Ooh neat! Does any old filament work for silicone molding? I could imagine for some it might like stick or be harder to remove

That’s the beauty of let’s resin liquid silicone. You don’t have to heat it up for curing, so you can use any filament even basic pla. This liquid silicone cures at room temperature.
