hi the pull screw is far to high on the lure. move it lower to achieve action. tinkering will give you whats needed for future lures
-
try using pilot paint marker from a office supply. it contains no xylene and i use circa or e tex with no runs at all.

ireland has produced rapalas since the early 80s.

Can anyone here restore the finish on this bait?

leave it. thats a badge of honor. if its still fishing it would be unjust to dis honor a good bait -
my wife bought me an airbrush 25 years ago. since then if she needs me im in the shop. while watching movies im either screwin around or hookin. thats her opinion. in reality building for a living does have its moments. the names of musky baits baffles her imagination. dogs balls really is a color. oh well after all these years shes accepted my addiction.
-
warm the bait slightly after the first coat is dry. water bases run less, in my opinion
-
we tried oak. its durable wood. it does not accept water. it cracks and is hard to tool.. lures immersed as cranks running miles being trolled it tends to create paint adhesion problems. just my opinion.
-
what sealer are you using.
-
you could try fiberglass resin also. it hardens like cement. most guys use epoxy. i wont get into sealing. thats for the hatfields and mcoys
-
pines soft does not hold screws very well. if its wire thru you would be ok.
-
automotive clears do not yellow. they also do not allow flex. they sure are clear though.
-
we use etex or circa new lustre. by the gallon its less cost to build baits.. im sure the others are very good also. it can depend on availability of what you can get in your region.
-
send me your addy. i can forward a color sheet.
-
a good bandsaw blade. use a bi-metal blade. the more tpi the better. set up a jig if your doing coffin lips or called trapezoid lips.
-
we use western red. you have to sort lumber for the best wood. densitys do matter in the wood chosen. cedar is user friendly. you do need a dust system if you sand or turn the wood.. its great for sealer absortion and holds paints very well.

im chuckling. i had a 5 gallon pail ofd the stuff years back. yes its sprayable. as said ventilation needed. its only fancy paint.

perch white belly. im a musky guy

very cool. brings back memories. our seasons closed. theres a cazzilion bunnies here. coyotes are fat from eating bunnies
-
we used to order pradco bombers in base white and chrome. they were cleared already. without sanding we would shoot lacquer primer over, no sandinf. the chrome we overshot candy colors. them a clear acrylic. never had an issue. over the years we did thousands. thosee 9a bombers were great in lake erie.
-
read and then read more. then ruin baits and wash some more off.. lifes experiences are great teachers. as stated above, dig in and have a fun time.
-
i am the odd man out. i use a laquer sanding sealer. then i immerse in wh/ laquer primer. no issues at all. the largest issue is a beautifull paint job and paint cracking off from temperature differences in the northern regions.

well the skeeters are wearing fur coats. its 15 below this morning.. b75 i used to winter southeast of you in lakeland., or key largo.
-
cheesehead says it all. that would be my choice
-
actually im in ontario. a few skeeters very cool. i can attest to fire ants firsthand. floridas very nice. i used to travel there every winter. as for cold. the older i get the worse winter is. im sure you can tell from all the snowbirds wintering there.
