I hope everybody has a safe & Merry Christmas and New Year!!!...Nathan

I'm with Ben on this..I apply my Solarez with a fine hair brush and haven't had any problems.Acetone will clean your brush...Nathan
-
Thanks CLM....I purchased the nail light set up and it works great however your some what limited on the length of your baits you can use in it.I need something a bit longer for some of my swimbaits..Nathan
-
CLM, Did you get that bulb at Walmart?...Nathan

I would think pouring them from soft plastic ( like worms) would work much better.You could use a short metal sleeve in the center to run your line through and just pour around it.The sleeve would add a bit of weight.The colors for soft plastic is endless and I think it would feel more natural...Nathan

Great video Dave!...Nathan

That's a good Idea Mark...The Techs. At Solarez said that the heating and cooling of the resin will have no ill effect on it...Nathan

Sweet looking little bait !!... -
A-Mac, Are you heating it to thin it before dipping?...Nathan

Mark, It's a coat of Devon followed by a coat of ACC.?...The two are not combined together is that correct?...Nathan
-
Ben....lol!!!!..how true!...Nathan

Hey Mark, Have you checked out that shrink wrap they have for gift baskets?...Nathan

Here is a slick tip I learned from Gene (Lincoya)...Use the band saw to make your initial cut ( Like the guys said above)....This will be your pilot cut.Now using a dremel tool with either a 1/16th or 1/8th diamond bit(depends how thick your lexan is)follow your pilot cut.You get a perfect slot cut every time!...Nathan

This stuff shows a lot of promise as a under coat as well.I brushed on a coat and let it set for about 10 minutes to soak into the wood...stuck it outside for a couple minutes (my new nail light hasn't arrived yet)...Brushed on a second coat ( first coat was still a hair tacky so I got good adhesion)and put it back out on the sun light for 3 more minutes and I ended up with a really nice hard smooth surface for painting.I'll rough it up a little with sand paper before I paint..Nathan

Great stuff Mark..Thanks for posting!...really get a guy thinking..In my case that can be really dangerous !!..Nathan

Another thought would be too either use the plastic dip clear spray on material or you their clear dipping coating and actually dip the lure in.Your bait would be left with a softer rubbery textured top coat that is nearly bullet proof.I've dipped jig heads in this stuff and have sprayed a few baits with it and it is tough!!! But you have a flat finish to it..no gloss at all..(the fish didn't seem to mind!!) ..Nathan

I orderd one of those nail lights yesterday...When I finally finish with the learning curve here I may build a lighting box. What I've played around with so far sure shows promise. The the low cost is a definite plus!!..Nathan
-
Mark, I'm still playing around with this stuff..but it doesn't seem to me near as brittle.Save your money on that light bulb they sell..I can't get the product to set up all the way using it...I have to stick the baits out side to get them to set up all the way...I can see my self building a drying box...Nathan
-
Mark, There is a product that fly tiers use called sili-skin.it is a soft plyable material that has a adhesive back.It comes in a bunch of colors as well as clear I believe.The stuff is a little pricey .Your problem will be your top coat...It's going to need to be pliable as well...Fly tiers also have a top coat they use called softex that may work...I've been playing around with this for a while.....Nathan

Beautiful paint jobs Couger!!...Nathan

Mark, As soon As it is cured.In theory... Using PVC you could build,paint top coat and fish a lure in just a couple of hours...the hold up would be the paint drying...Nathan
