Hey, was wondering if anyone has used the Permaflex Copper hightemp silicon gasket maker to rid a mold of the barb? I just bought a walleye head mold and want to rid the collar off the mold. Sounds like it should work, good to 700 degrees.
Anyone used Permaflex Copper?

Sure, I'll take and post some pics. It was really simple. Just filled in barb with permaflex, scraped flush with a blade, powdered with baby powder, powdered hook, loaded mold and left overnight. Poured 300 so far, about 85% - 1/16, 10% - 3/32, 5%-1/8 with no problems.

Here is a link for some pictures of the modified mold and the silicon I used. Worked great, just poured 100 1/16 this morning. Would have done more, but wife was complaining, saying I was keeping our baby up from my noise, her crib is right on the other side of the wall from my work bench. I think you can scroll through the pics, have pics of the mold, a fixture Pepop gave me the idea to make for curing heads, and a few jigs and fish. Hope it helps someone.

Let's see if these work. I was getting a server error while I was trying to post the last ones.

SlabHappy you got it fixed! Thanks for the effort getting the pictures up. I have a hell of a time getting stuff up when I try to show folks what I am doing (pictures). The mold looks good and now you can make what you want. I look forward to seeing how your jigs come out tyed and painted.

Need to get that mold. Looks like you could mod the last cavity for a #8 hook - probably weigh ~1/24th maybe. SH have you weighed your jigs after the modification?
No, I haven't, but there is a thread by crappiecrippler of the weights of a modified walleye mold. I think my nephew has a postal scale (not for drugs), I can weigh them on. If he didn't leave it at his moms, I will weigh them or get him to bring it back so I can. I will post when I do.
