Hi All,Just wondering if anyone on here has used a Thermoplastic Elastomer? If so what's your experience like and do you continue to use it or would you use it again?
Cheers, Gaschy

My experience with polymers was that it created a lot of heat when setting and set quick , this was back in the nineties , i suppose you are looking to make lures out of it , i put it in the to hard basket myself along with a lot of other stuff i tried , the silicon moulds would have to be heat resistant similar to those used for lead pouring, would be alright for high speed bibless lures but i think you would have to have a mould that made a hollow lure for the lure to float i do remember it having a high viscosity to fill small spaces , polymers are used today with those new fandangled 3 d machines in tube form that is melted through the machine, cheers pearcey
