No problem...have fun!!...Nathan

I actually mix it with some polyacrilic and either spray or brush on depending on the look or color I'm going for.It could be mixed with your top coat but that can limit the use of the glitter....Nathan

Tax Help Needed From A Teen Entrepreneur/lure Maker
Nathan replied to AnglingEntrepreneur's topic in Soft Plastics
X4 on what Mike said.They had one of their people drive over 100 miles out to my place when I got started.It was a really nice lady and she really helped me out..Just be honest and on time and you will be just fine...Nathan -
I've been getting my micro glitter from http://www.Paintwithpearl.com. They are great to work with and have glitter sized at .004 so you can shoot it through your airbrush ...they also have pearls etc. you may want to check out or auto top coats...Nathan

You said it was bait 3...I 'm betting you introduced the bubbles when you dipped the first two and let them drip back in the jar...Nathan

A little white vinegar in the water you dip your water slide decals in makes them softer and lay better too!!...Nathan
-
This is some pretty slick stuff..but it does have the consistancy of thick hand cream.The eyes I painted were very small so I just dipped them....Thanks for the tip on this paint BobP...Nathan

I just received my order from GloNation aswell...I orderd the unpigmented Wht/grn color to make glowing eyes on my new Black Rodent I'm making...talking about bright creepy eyes!!!...Nathan

I would start off making sure you heat set each coat..and make sure all is totally dry before top coating...if your still getting wrinkling...start making changes....I'm assuming the Krylon top coat is a enamel...Enamels USUALLY play nice with water base if dry...Nathan

Paulownia,poplar and white Pine are all good choices..especially the first two...Nathan

If you go to Amazon.com and put in UV nail light in the search function you'll find them...Nathan

The problem with trimming bucktail that has been tied is you lose the natural taper of the hair...Nathan

Eric, I've used acetone to clean my brushes after using it..and Acetone flashes off quick..that might work..also on their website they say it can be slightly heated to thin it...I think putting it in a hot water bath would be the safest method for heating...Nathan

Realistically, there is no top coat that can with stand repeated casts against rocks,docks etc...Nathan
-
Beautiful job Mark...Let us know how it goes..Nate -
Musky fisherman have been fishing baits similar to that for years...The whole "Glide bait" craze has just recently caught on with Bass fisherman...Nathan
-
Mark, If you wanted to put your picture up on the "Frog post" that is fine...Nathan

PVC doesn't need to be sealed.. It's impervious to water ..I think these guys "dip" just to have a smooth surface for paint..They will have to chime in on what they use...Nathan
-
Yep..that link is similar to what I was talking about....except with mine there would be no top or bottom...both the lower and top half would be painted like the belly of a frog...mount the eyes on the side of the bait and your eye screws in the center of the side...that way when it landed it always landed correctly. I think the PVC should work great along with your home made eye screws but epoxy them in.... Nathan

Go to Cabelas or Bass pro's catalog or website..should supply you with a bunch of pictures of Walleye baits...Nathan
-
Another option is to do away with the " Tube" option altogether.You would use two worm hooks on each side of the bait at the rear and use grubs Texas rigged for your legs..they would be weedless and cause a little commotion in open water...Again excuse the poor art work..lol..Nathan
-
Dip and hang..I'd give it 24 hrs..but it continues to harden for a week or so...But you should do a search on this site and read about the storage issues...Nathan

A single hook works fine but if you do want a double hook I found that the current "Frog Hooks " are a little large for this design. If you do want to use a double hook LPO or Jann's that craft has a good selection of double hooks in their various sizes. The hook will remain facing up because of how it is attached to the rigid tube at the rear with the flexable tubing. If you want it even more weedless you could attach a hitchhiker to the back of the bait and run a small rubber band from it to the hook Barb or a thin rubber worm...see attached terrible sketch...
