They really don’t do much for you.You Work your butt off getting ready for the show and have people approach you like your having a garage sale..they forget you have expenses..etc... Maybe You can find out what shows Anglinarcher sets up at..It sounds like he may do well at his shows..Nathan

    So true Jeff, I started making wood Baits around 1992 when I was in my early 30’s...Now I’m 57..No internet...very few How to books..just a lot trial and error...I wouldn’t give up any of those lessons learned through failure..Then in 2001 a site called Tackle Making popped up.With it came the uniting of people from around the world with the common interest of learning and improving their craft...as they say..the rest is history. I’ve been so lucky to meet you and so many others through this addicting hobby we call lure making..Nate

    Mark, sorry for the slow reply..Yep...I hold it low in the jar and let it drip back into the jar..Nathan
  17. Nathan
    Mark, can you get Xylene in Ca.?..That’s what I thin with..I also use Bloxygen when closing the jar...But this stuff is ridiculously easy to use..dip and hang..2-3 coats a hour or so apart...I’ve only had one problem with the jar going off..but that was my fault..I got lazy and didn’t seal it up correctly.A good tough top coat with just a little flex to it..I’ve spent hundreds of dollars through the years trying top coats..This is as close to nirvana as I’ve found..Nathan

    A little background...I work in a building located in Clinton Mo...The building was built in the mid 1880’s...They were doing some remodeling and I snagged this scrap from a floor joist they had cut..This piece of wood is about 130 yrs old...just beautiful..just as clean on the inside..This is why I love wood!!..Can anyone tell me what it might be? I’m going to make a lure out of it for my boss..Just going to leave the wood raw with a good top coat...Nathan

    Hi Hiro, glad to see you still stop by from time to time..really good to hear from you... For you guys that don’t know Hiro..He is a very talented wood lure maker from Japan..and one of the old timers here!!..Nathan

    You guys should really start a new topic if your discussing something other than the KBS Aerosol spray..It makes search’s easier...and you might get more in put..Nathan
  24. Nathan
    If it’s being rotated it can’t puddle...Just be sure you let it drip off well before rotating or you’ll get a small hardened drip on your spoon..Nathan
  25. Nathan
    Use the search feature here on the forums..There is enough information on this topic to keep you reading for weeks...Nathan
