    If you have a fine toothed handsaw, like a backsaw or a dovetail saw, that will give you the most controllable amd safest way to cut joints.

    smallmouthaholic, I agree with most of what you say. I just think there are ways to say it that will be better heard. You come off as an angry person, not as someone who is interested it helping to make things better, and I'm sure you don't mean to.

    Thanks to all my friends here on TU, I now have a plano box full of white jigs!

    I don't think calling people names because they disagree with you does any good. We need a discussion, not a shouting match. People who are worried about our planet's health and future are our allies, even if we don't agree with their distinct point of view. I'd choose them over Big Oil and Big Pharma every time.

    Is that how you made the white craw in your video?

    You can always thin a red to get to be transparent-ish.

    I fish off colored water most of the time, and getting the fish to see my lure is my first priority, so I add a half tab of glo skirt glitter to each side of my typical skirt patterns. http://fishingskirts.com/fishing-skirts-categories/skirt-making-material/glow-in-the-dark

    Wasn't green pumpkin originally a mistake, too?

    I buy everything from Baitjunky now. Leonard is good to deal with, and his products are good, too.

    Does that plastisol turn clear when it's cooked?

    In a two part epoxy, once the two parts have been well mixed, they will still set, no matter how much additional solvent you add afterward. The problem is too much solvent creates a coat that is too thin to be strong, like a fabric with a really low thread count. The key is mixing them well enough that both parts are in contact with each other completely and evenly, so they can combine to form the glue molecule, before you add your solvent.

    Just remember, you get what you pay for. Having a good air brush that works well will allow you to enjoy air brush painting, instead of spending your time cleaning and cursing.

    I was able to stop the running of sharpies by spraying a coat of Createx clear over the baits before I epoxied them.

    I never thought about that, but, with a larger screw eye, that would be a good idea. I've used both .092 and .072 sst eyes. I always let the super glue squeeze out that's left when the eye is run back in act as a kind of faring, to seat the eye and keep it from rotating. It isn't bullet proof, I know, because I've removed glued in eyes before, but I needed some pliers and some force to get them to back out.

    You can also use a pump bottle that's left over from boat cleaner, or some other product.

    If you can smell it, you need a respirator with the right filter.

    I love a laminated grub in Tennessee shad that I think was an old Gene Larew bait. It has half dark smoke, half pearl white, and the only way I found to get the smoke on top was to rig the grub flat, so the tail sits horizontal, instead of facing up or down. It catches fish, and doesn't foul any more than the top or bottom rigging fouls.

    I used to get fish eyes when I didn't wear gloves, because my finger prints got on the painted baits.

    I use runny super glue to reinforce the balsa at my hardware holes, and then screw in my sst screweyes. I back them out again, coat the threads with super glue, and then run them back in. I've only caught bass to 2lbs on them, so far, so I don't know if they will hold up to big fish. But I fish them on 17lb mono or fluoro, not braid, so there is some give in my cranking setup.

    Yes, it should be thinned with denatured alcohol, but how much depends on you. I don't know how much is too much, but you can make a few small test batches to see how much you need to thin it for your purposes, and to see if there is a limit to how much alcohol you can add before it affects the epoxy. Be sure the two parts are thoroughly mixed before you add the alcohol, or it will combine with the unmixed parts and the epoxy will never set.
