Salty's

Spectrum metal is the company that Lakeland uses to plate their stuff.

Lakeland doesn't plate their stuff they send it out.

I got on TU back around the day Al Gore invented the internet. I enjoy reading what others do and get a good laugh sometimes here or there. You guys make me feel old

Now I'm being SALTY LOL Facebook sucks. Excuse the Francais. I was on facebook and imo it's a place where people are too negative. It breeds too many bad things. I don't do facebook. If you realized how they track you and how much money your worth to them you wouldn't want to give them the time of day either. 100% word of mouth business on my website. I stopped advertising many years ago. Waste of money just like shows. If your product works or it's unique it will sell itself. You don't need to give away 500 or more lures to get into a booth at a show. I used to do 4-6 10x10 booths at each show. Huge amount of work. Lost time. No life. Work for .11 an hour. 14 years of shows from NH to PA. $30k in travel a year for shows. yuck. Fishing industry is a land that time forgot. My 1950's catalogs have higher wholesale prices than they do now. Thank China for that. Going on 18 years this year still no Lear jet in my driveway. Want to know what the best advertising is in my business and what sells lures? Not $800 a month magazine ads. Not $1000 trade show displays. Not $3000 booth rent in a show. Its the guy on the beach/jetty bailing fish one after another. The guy next to him is catching squat. He looks over and asks what the guy is throwing. Thats what sells lures in this business... You can have all the pretty paint jobs and epoxy coats you want. If it doesn't catch fish you ain't going anywhere. Real quick.

There's 3 people who make money at a tackle show. IT AINT YOU It is however.... The Hall The Show promoter ...and the IRS.......... Tackle shows are a complete and utter waste of time and money. Glorified flea markets in most cases.

Mark you missed the point. Happy New Year.

I agree but take it one step further. Get yourself thin, medium and thick CA glue and some accelerator. I use CA to hold the nose loops in on my darters. In EVERY test I have done pulling, pushing, twisting, etc you will BREAK a .062 stainless wire before the CA bond will fail. The thick will fill gaps....

Hi Nathan unfortunately there are some things I cannot show. There are some very specialized purpose built machines here that I cannot let be viewed online. I show a few of our machines on Youtube but there is stuff that would get cloned in an instant if I showed in operation. That being said if you are up near Boston please look me up I'd be happy to give you the .05 tour.

Tnx Mark you too! Little vaca starting today in Niagara Falls and right back at it Monday! Here's something you can put kbs on:

LOL Hi Mark!

? 2 year old thread? Not going to waste my time researching this. It's a well known issue. Still bubbles with this product today. Not sure what your beef is that you bumped a 2yo thread...

BSI 30 min with one coat is a pretty substantial thickness coating. Highly recommend a real camels hair brush to lay this stuff down. Use Acetone to clean the brush after and can be reused over and over as long as you clean the brush well. It's a 93 gloss coating. IMO one of the best to use on home builder baits. Sensitization is a problem with any epoxy resin. Gloves are highly recommended also. PPE first.

LOL

I'm drawing a blank here.

I recognize those lures

Testors and Bob Smith Epoxy work fine I can tell you this. 2-3 drops of denatured (NOT RUBBING) alcohol. People pick up these lures constantly and love the finish on them.

Google Sketchup works great. Many free or low cost out there. All can be converted to gcode.

It's free but you get nothing out of it. They don't give you any gcode etc. You have to buy from them.

I get the same thing right now, if I click classified it reloads the forum page. Your link above works.

The absolute closest thing to chrome is Bismuth Oxychloride. Can be used in clear base. IT'S LADYS MAKEUP.
