  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Dink, where do you get your chatterbait blades?
  4. Can you post a link to the Gallery page?
  5. I use a 7/8" screw eye through the lip for my line tie, so 1/16" deep is enough for my lips.
  6. 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.
  7. I thought about doing that, too, but I realized I'd have to retie every time the bait got damaged.
  8. How do you paint your heads?
  9. Thank you. If you had already posted this, I missed it. Old age, I guess.
  10. What thread do you use?
  11. I'm guessing that the ads are what pays for the site.
  12. They look like they were made by Nathan Bettencourt, one of the moderators here on TU.
  13. White basecoat is a good idea.
  14. I add my glo powder to clear nail polish, and use the nail polish brush to apply it. I test in my laundry room with the doors closed after it's dried. If it's not bright enough, I add a second coat.
  15. Today's his actual birthday. Happy Birthday Ben Siegel, wherever you are. You are missed
  16. You're right. I jumped the gun.
