Anytime. I posted a picture this morning of some cranks I painted last night. That will show you the nail and clothes pin method. The front hanger was put in when I put my first sealer coat on. Bill slot is cut right before paint.

I don't think there is a per say best way but there is a best way for each builder. This a couple choices I have used and still using just depends on what mood and what weight balsa I'm using. Thin Super Glue: absorbs well, dries fast, makes a good hard suface, but I can't stand the smell. Waterproof Wood glue: No oder, easy brush on, absorbs well, makes a good hard surface, I use 2 coats then dry overnight. Counter top epoxy (Lowes): My current method. Thin, absorbs well, cures hard, needs at least a full day cure time. This is my current method for my wood cranks. 1. After sanding I put it on it holder (i use the nail and clothes pin) I use the table top epoxy, brus it on just what the wood can absorb and let it sit over night to cure. No rotation. 2. Sand if any lose grain pops up. 3. I apply one more coat to give me a good surface the paint and I use a turner for this step and let it turn and cure overnight. Hope this helped more than it confused you.

Good day at the work bench.... -
Used Iwata airbrushes. I don't use them enough to have them so I thought someone else could use them. I have 4. One brush needs a cap, fluid nozzel, and a needle. I can check the local hobby lobby for the parts for who ever wants that brush.

Nice.... May I ask what's the name of the brown you used... -
None taken Braided Line. I just used the word ghost because it can be seen through. The light isn't the best. Haven't figured that part out. Lol It looks a lot deffernt in person. The body is a super light pearl blue. -
Sharp. I like the one in the middle. -
Thanks -
Thanks Braided line, no trade secrets. It's was just wood glue I had gorilla all purpose wood glue. I tried it thinned with water and without water. Without water worked best in my opinion. -

I'm so glad I'm not a bass. I would be in every weight in on the coosa river with cranks like that. Aka sacrifice. -
I got my iwata eclispe hp cs from hobby lobby its was 140 I think but I used one of there coupons. You can go to shop hobby lobby online and use the coupon too. I got my car compressor from harbor freight it's tankless and is quieter than my refrigerator. It was 79 or 89 dollars. I love the both of them. The brush comes with the .35 needle but I also bought the .5 needle nozzle cap and field cap for the thicker paints from tcp comes as a kit. Hope that helps.

I have a flipping paca bait color I love but it doesn't come in a smaller profile bait. I like having two sizes. Its called perfection by netbait. I can send some of the baits if anyone is interseted. Beaver style or craw would be fine Thanks BJ Barron
