foiled

did you melt the lip and bend it or buy it tht way

I wanted to see my lures again, this is happening every 2-3 months, so by chance I read your message.

The lip is 1/16" polycarbonate (Lexan). I make and bend the lips myself, using hot vegetable oil. I have made several "lip benders" out of SS metal sheet. I put the lips in such a bender, only the lower part of the lip goes in, then I plunge the lip and bender in hot oil for 15-20 seconds, take it out, then with a piece of plywood I conform the lip to the rest of the bender. If you are interested in details, PM your e-mail address, and I will send you pictures of the process. I am sure I still have those pictures somewhere.
