I’ve built and used the Tokyo rigs and they work. I bought the long stem swivels from China and I like them because it allows the lure to rotate 360 degrees with little resistance and a little better action without line twist. I actually make mine with ear ring stops to hold the weight where I want it for different purposes and so I can change weights as needed quickly without having to bend the wire ends. It also allows the weights to pull off if snagged.

Great idea .... thanks

Thanks ............. but How do you know if you mixed the right amount of dye to get the color you want when it is cloudy

Thanks

Thanks Mark. I bought the transparent base but it is cloudy until it is sprayed. Is there a clear one that I can mix until I get the color I want. Most of the dyes are pearls with highlights.

I have some pigment powders that I want to use to make my own airbrush paint. What medium do you use to ad the pigment to?

Thanks

Nobody knows ?

Way overkill ......... you need just enough air to make the powder move. A fish tank air pump has to usually be adjusted down

They are a wire made with a swivel on 1 end. I bought some from someone that was making long underspins. They are the same that they use on Tokyo Rigs and I can’t remember where I got them. I am looking for a source

The guys in both videos used heat transfer foils. I’m not sure irons here will get hot enough. But hey ........... give it a try and let us know if it works.

I don’t think a 12 v element will get hot enough. We change out the elements on the credit card stamps to get hotter ones. These are the ones I bought but have not tried them yet. The guy that came up with the idea of the credit card press did a bunch of experiments and says they have to be at least 300 watt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Stock-2x-NEW-AC110V-300W-Mold-Heating-Element-Cartridge-Heater-Tube-Rosin-DIY/352483764452?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Heres the silicone pad https://www.ebay.com/itm/SILICONE-SPONGE-RUBBER-1-2-THK-X-12-X-12-SHEET-HIGH-TEMP/223161425660?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

The iron has to be very very hot. Here is how some are doing it. I’m in the process of building my own machine. You have to have a heating element that will heat the rubber very hot. https://www.facebook.com/groups/337976016943741/

I’d be interested depending on the price

You can cast it on silicone and pour your own

I LOVE IT!!!

Just use a screw eye ........ much easier

Check out the California Air compressors ......... in expensive and very quite. I have several compressors but I only use the California air and Silentaire because of the noise of the others. I really have to listen to make sure the Silentaire is on but it is more expensive.

They make crab scent

Classifieds has a pusher selling drugs. I touched contact us and sent a message many hours ago and it’s still there. NICE!

Sorry for the fire ......... glad everyone was able to get out

Please Please Please repost it ............. Please

Thanks guys

What do you guys use to paint the inside of ES Molds that I’ve seen some guys do to make the lures smooth.
