I've been playing with the deep diving baits again. -
You can get a good result from dark transparent colors of the iridescents and flip/flop colors. Looks really good when shoot thru netting. Just don't get heavy with the dark color.
-
A little iridescent paint goes a long way, I had to learn this. If you just mist a shot iridescent purple over the green the purple will show in the sunlight. I have used some of the true flip/flop paint from Smith paint but I didn't really care for it. I found the colors just seem to blend together too much.

I drill a couple of ancor holes in the back of the lip and use a dab of 5min. I've never had a lip come loose and had to tear a bait completely apart to get a lip back.

thanks Dean, I really enjoy building the smaller baits. -
use super glue to seal the blank, it's the fastest method I've tried so far. I let it dry 30 min sand with 150 grit to get rid of the roughness and recoat with super glue. Prime and paint the blank after second coat. Don't worry about your finger sticking to the bait, use a light rubbing motion and you won't have any problems.

a mix of new jerk baits and 1 lucky craft repaint -
Most of these are 2-2.25 inches and weigh 1/4oz

Wow!!!!!! Nice paint -
BJ, I have not seen any problems or had any baits come back. I strip the baits with a heat gun and seal, prime, paint, and coat with 2ton.

Palmetto, you don't know how the action is going to be affected but your positive devcon is going to affect the action in one way or another.
-
No it won't effect the action. I've repainted at least 15 shad raps and use devcon on all of them.

Vodkaman, if you ever try to make a bass sized crank out of maple or heavy pine you'll see what I mean about tricky. 1/64oz too much weight and you have a sinker, in my opinion that is tricky. You don't find many guys using heavy hardwoods to make bass baits.

Mav, that statement is pretty close. I hit my baits with a hair dryer for about 10 secs just make sure. Wildlife colors is also a very very good water based paint.

You da man!!!!

Sorry never worked on a badger brush. But general cleaning is need no matter what the brand. I use windex and it seems to work very well. I always pull the needle when changing colors and I only take my brush apart once a month. the windex does that good of a job for me.
-
What is the brand of brush?
-
Mav, wasco makes a very good water based paint, I would be willing to try their laquers if I were going to switch.
-
That stuff will be tricky when it comes to weighting.
-
Dean, I'm impressed and yes I'm very messy. What are you using to vent that fine mist created from spraying and cleaning.
-
Riverrat is this stuff similar to balsa foam?
-
this is my version of a wiggle wart, made out of balsa -
2.25 inch shallow runer -
3.5 inch swim bait, made out of 1/2 inch stock -
I think spraying in the house is going to be a big mess and mistake at the same time. You may want to think about that a little bit more. I have overspray all over the garage and I only paint in 1 corner. After about an hour of painting and cleaning the brush, my garage looks like a steam bath. You could put a big tank compressor in the garage and run hose into the house to the brush. I would suggest two water traps, one on the compressor and a in-line filter. the dryer the air the better.
