Colorwise on the hats i´d prefer a black one with yellow or red embroidery, since wearing white in sun is tiring & bet you have seen the hands of tacklemakers :-)

After you have applied foil/tissue let it cure fully then apply 1 layer of clear .Sand down the seams til its smooth.Clear again
til you are satisfied with depth&coverage of the bait
Make the lure cut a slot vertically in tail seal slot glue in the tail & you´re done
You can also put a nail or 2 horizontally in the tailpart of the lure
Its pretty obvious to me if you look at the picture
You´re in up to your ears in #*¤#¤¤** if you think you´ll be done to the W/E
You should of done this weeks ago give the topcoat a time to cure
Only advice i can give is start earlier next time
