Sounds like me whenever I talked to one of my ex-wives. Hahaha

Knots are much heavier than clear wood.

Thanks

Many years ago someone here posted that the difference between colorants and dyes is the size of the pigment particles. Is that true?

What brand do you use?

Thanks

I also use latex gloves to handle my lures once I've painted them. I use Solarez surfboard repair resin (https://solarez.com/polyester-gloss-clear-finish-resin-dual-cure.html) I heat the resin can in hot water until it is runny, dip my lure, and then let it drip dry (not back into the dipping can). Once it's stopped dripping, I hang it in my fingernail lite box for six minutes(rotate after one minute intervals) and it's ready to fish. Avoid LED lights. They will cure the resin. I use old fluorescent overhead lights when I'm dipping.

Happy accident. I am using a Lee lead pot that was used when I got it. I cleaned out the pot, and the plunger, but it still poured slowly. So i drilled out the spout hole with a slightly larger bit, and now it pours like a ladle, but with more control. I also sprayed the pot insides with Arsenals Dropout.

Dink, where do you get your chatterbait blades?

Can you post a link to the Gallery page?

I meant 5/16" deep.

I use a 7/8" screw eye through the lip for my line tie, so 1/16" deep is enough for my lips.

I cut my lip slot on my bandsaw, while my blank is still rectangular, so it's square to the blank I mark a centerline on my lip and on my finished blank, so I can line them up when I glue them together.

I thought about doing that, too, but I realized I'd have to retie every time the bait got damaged.
