I cannot thank you enough for sharing this information for free!!!!! I’ve wondered for the last couple months if you could use “rondo” to make a mold instead of having one machined from aluminum.

Best tutorial I’ve seen so far for molding, many fish can be made in off one so more fish can be released, thanks!!

Hi Kevin! Great video! I actually make the bedding fiber that Matuska's sells. It's called Premium Bedding Fiber. A lot of trial and error went into getting the right combination of ingredients, but the end result was worth it. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Thanks for your great video. Could you spray the mold with pva release instead of using vaseline ? Also could you spray the fish with pva also. Thanks for your help
