Not bad for a ROOKIE! Congrats!

Isocyanates are bad, that is another thing paint companies have managed to do. Yes, the hvlp paint produces less air pollution, But much more toxic for the person applying.

Yes there is a lot of bs surrounding paint companies. I know at one time the catalyst/hardeners for almost all the major US paint companies was made by a company TN, Barr i think?. The same thing went in many different brand cans. I don't know if that is still true today or not. I shoot basecoat thinned with cheap virgin thinner, instead of the basecoat maker. I have had no problems as of yet and it is 1/4 the cost.

Since the mid 70's I have used Dupont, Sherwin Williams, RM, PPG and many others. They all mention reducing enamel and thinning lacquer. Additionally, I have never seen a gallon can of enamel thinner or lacquer reducer in 30+ yrs. Keep in mind I am specifically speaking of automotive finishes. Perhaps this was done to avoid confusion between the two.

If you can't find the MAK you should be able to find lacquer retarded. Which is the slowest drying thinner available for lacquer. Not much is needed so use sparingly. You are probally not going to find a lacquer reducer, solvents for lacquer are known as thinners for the most part. You reduce enamel and thin lacquer for what its worth.

Nice one! Pete -
Crawchuck, had attemped to mold a fish using a quicksetting drywall compound and the fish stuck to the mold. I think using a molding material that is quick setting and doesn't pull moisture from the specimen would probally yield the best results. As Travis mentions bondo, which some brands (older formulas) will draw moisture. However if one would use the resin first, and then bondo. I can't see why it would't work> Taking care not to mix too much hardener resulting in a significant amount of heat generated during the curing.Which could distort or degrade the fish.

Happy New Years to all!

It is crucial that the kill spot is clearly visible on the bait, the location is unimportant. The predator fish thus becomes preoccupied with the spot while in pursuit to such a degree it fails to notice the metal contraptions (hooks) hanging off the lure, and as a result willing takes the bait.

#5 for large areas and high volume #3 for most general applications #1 for finer details and light shading

Happy B-day! Bear

Have a good one!

Yes, you should have some type of barrier to prevent the solvent from compromising the adhesive used to afix the foil.

You can rapid cure regular silicone with the addition of water.

Nice one, Blades! Would probally look better in my box though! -
Nice bait! You can use a discarded furnace filter or scotch brite to achieve the same results. Pulling thin layers off the pad or filters works the best. -
Best & fastest way to remove the original paint from crankbait?

If you find wet sanding the method of choice to scuff the finish. You can add a little dish soap to the water and it will help to keep the paper from clogging. -
I never use water base paint, however, I knew an artist that would use (i think it was) bulb off a baster filled with water to flush the tip or would set the brush in a cup of water.
-
Phil, what do you think a guy would use to cast and retrieve that pikie
-
Rest the tip in a small cup of water making sure the the tip is submerged.

Without a patent you might research: non-disclosure agreement

There are plenty of urethane clears on the market that will work for finishing lures. ppg, dupont and numerous other brands sold at auto part stores. The one thing to keep in mind is some clears will not stick well to a lure if it isn't clear-coated within a certain time frame. To remedy this you would need to use a intercoat clear. Some people have no problem with this, but I have seen some clears that fail to adhere to the underlying paint if too much time expires between color coating and clear coating. This is with lacquers and base coat colors under 2-part urethane clear

Looks like it will do the trick!
