Welcome back!!! The shop looks great!

I use one of these little mixers for epoxy. Let her run for 5 minutes or so (depending which epoxy you use) and it comes out mixed perfect with no bubbles. It has a little chunk of steel that rolls around the sides and mixes everything great.

I use the lacquer version a lot. When sprayed over white you get a blue sheen on the white. The darker the background color is the more pronounced the blue color. Over black you will get a beautiful iridescent blue. In the picture you can see the colors it produces over black starting with green on the tail to blue to red to gold.

I apply a coat of water based clear on the lure and then sprinkle the flake on while it is still wet.Let the water base dry and then apply epoxy top coat. I don't mix the flake with the epoxy.

Hey Dinger, are you very close to Hayward? I usually go up there in late may early June and fish Grindstone, LCO, Big Round, and a few others. Great Smallmouth fishing.

Does it blow out on the same side every time? If it does, it could be as simple as some fine tuning of the line tie.

I'd say you pretty much nailed it . The only thing I can see would be to add holo foil in place of the pearl white. Kinda like a Fat Free Shad by Bomber. I think they also have a light chartreuse belly but I like your orange better.

Real nice work!!!!

I do it all. I send them a disassembled lure and a working prototype along with the stl file.

I do! I also design lures for Bass Pro Shops and make their prototypes with the printer that are then sent to the factories for production.
