Chris...it's PVC based. I've never used the stuff before but it's great for swimbaits. Getting them weighted right is tough and it's nice to not have to worry about sealing them. Was it you who use to make a bunch of PVC plugs??? I remember reading that but forgot who was doing it. I know the PVC fumes are not great for you, but for the few of these I'll make I'm not all that worried.

Couple more pics. Just fixturing these and figuring out how to paint and epoxy them took some thinking.
Maybe the muskyslayer approach for molded plugs would work
