RiverMan -WWWHHHAAA -Thats 12.59c each, I would not get out of bed for that. I warned you guys - China is getting closer. Soon we will be flying there for a hair cut. pete
-
I'll go along with that - It's the thinners they use in the different paints/some good quality, some bad- one thinner eats into the other- A bit like using cheap thinners with Propionate, just won't work. I would clear it anyway (thick) sand it back a bit and give it another coat - that color scheme is too good to waste. Whatever you have now is probably sealed, so give it a dose of D2T. Good luck with it-pete

No, I pinched it from 'Fatfingers' home forum , ohiogamefishing.com. pete

Spike - I'm bringing 2 empty bags and 2 pairs of jocks (undies - fume cabinets!!). I will then chuck the undies (soiled) and fill the bags, cunning ploy, hey? This kid is not dragging bags allover the country for 3 weeks, I'm coming to gain weight, not lose it.pete
-
rlcam - Yep, they all brag about the prices there, I can't even find one here, to tell you that it's grand theft - we are also closer to China, so they (importers) probably buy them for 5c each?? . Gee my bags going to be full when I leave there in May. pete

I have one in my head. pete

DON"T touch it for about 12 hours - even if it is not tacky you will probably leave fingerprints on it, the oil of your prints sticks to the coat and you will have to polish them off - I know you will be dying to grab hold of, and inspect them - after all your work it's not worth the risk. 24 hours is even better. pete

I was not sure where to put this, but I figured 'Hard Bait' persons would be more likely to use them. OOOOOOOHHHH, I'm naughty, I pinched it from another forum: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=41338 Pete

Sinbad- We could photoshop the wife/girls picture on these, those japs, what a great idea. pete

Gonna be a busy winter for "StoneCoal Tackle"
hazmail replied to StoneCoal Tackle's topic in The Docks
Do you have bush fires there!!!!!??????????? No one here in their right mind, would build in a forest like that------- but I would.pete -
Nathan- I'm just thinking, if you have a wood lathe and some 'custom wood', I could maybe show anyone who is interested, how to make an "Australian Wheel', as opposed to an "English Wheel" - I can't believe some guys are still hand sanding convex/ concave curves-- Pete http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2136&d=1185665677

I like that Maypol. I have lately been changing from hemeostats to my normal holders and back again, this should solve that. Thanks for a good simple solution. pete

Just PM'd VodkaMan about this, I have been working on this idea- 'Every Mans Test Tank', but it's still in my head and am just too lazy to try it out (fear of failure), don't hold your breath as I have about half a dozen other experiments around the shed, in various stages of failure. I like the kiddie pool and hose idea, very inexpensive - but we have pretty severe water restrictions here (drought), buckets only "No hand held hoses"???. pete
-
dramone - as everyone is saying you only need heat, not UV and a cheap incandescent bulb would be O.K. I used to breed crickets in the shed, in the dead of winter here (-5 or -6), inside a vented wooden box (about 6sq feet or .6 sq M), one 40 watt bulb on a thermostat , kept them warm (20-25C) and chirping all winter- so as you can see you don't have to spend heaps, probably 50cents. pete

Nemo Blobs - how to StoneCoal, it's a bit hard to show how these were painted, as they take a while to paint and would need 4-6 photos (I am up to four now). I can tell you though - It is acrylic paint which I water down to about (guessing here) 20/1. The lure has to be pretty flat and held in a vice or something - using a small stick/nail (for bigger lures use a bigger stick) place the thinned color blob on the lure in the shape you want and let it dry. If you move the paint around while drying, you will get overlaps which will be darker shades of the original color.How it works as I am sure you would know, the watered down pigment tends to flow to the edge of the meniscus giving the darker line. Just keep adding colors and turning the lure (when dry) to add colors to top / bottom etc. It will speed up the drying if you use a hair dryer, but be careful as blowing the mix around may give you overlaps/ runs you don't want, then maybe you do, it's pretty random so try anything with it.. If that's not clear enough please ask again and I will try and elaborate. Have fun.pete

The price is certainly right, shame the do not ship international, you lucky b******s. pete
-
Great baits and amazing colors Dean. I might have to go looking for some of these when I get there. Great work .pete -
-
Spike- Yes they should be all these things, but unfortunately most are not. On another note- "Dress Code" - do you think I should bring my mask (new one of course). Might be handy for some of these threatened K.C pics. pete

Very natural looking colors and pattern Rookie, great work. pete -
Very wise words here Phil ****!!!!!!!, maybe you should have put it in the "Fishermans Sayings" post, certainly made me think, @ this time of the morning. PETE

Yes Phil I had a problem too, I was double booked for a week, but Melissa sorted it out no problem. I had thoughtes of ringing her, but have rung through orders to Cabelas and Bass pro in the past, and have spent half an hour having to spell out the items as the poor girls/guys cannot understand English!! I have had some inetresting conversations over the years, but any savings made by ordering there were outweighed by the cost/ duration of an international call, (I think they are free these days). pete.
