I bought myself a Sihouette Curio stencil cutter and I make any stencil I want within the limits of the lure. Wayne

williamkotik are you sure you are in the right place! wayne

You know what they say...….LOCATION...….LOCATION...……..LOCATION....If you want to do it do it otherwise you will always be second guessing yourself, you might fail I hope you don't , best of luck and god bless. Wayne

I just pick the one that matches the rest of the color of the fish, or a more natural one. Wayne

Small lures I use KBS and let it drip, larger lures like Musky lures I use Etex-Lite epoxy and put in a lure turner. I thin out the epoxy a little. Now your problem I would say like 21xdc either use gloves when touching your lures or have some sort of a holder for the lures, on most of my lures I have them in a holder all the way through the process not ever touching them. For the size that is in the picture I would go with KBS and double dip them. Wayne

Any of you guys selling on face book if so just wondering how it is going. I am considering instead of a web site or do they need to go hand in hand. Wayne

USA BALSA Menominee, MI I think that is the place Wayne

Bill Reed If you are starting out just go to Harbor Freight and buy the one for 15 bucks and start with that, then when you feel good enough then move up to a better one, and start with airbrush paint, don't start mixing Hobby Lobby paint just not worth it in the long run, you will just find that you have a bunch of bottles laying around. Starting out just try and use straight colors and when you are ready then start mixing them. Just keep the airbrush clean most important. Wayne

Go to Alumilite web site all you want is there. Wayne

When I dip or use epoxy I make a lip out of tape and put that on the lip and grab that, also I have all my lures in a two point holder so I don't touch the lures at any time during painting. When I dip in KBS I use a paper clip to hold on to while dipping. KBS I let drip and epoxy I put in a turner. Wayne

I started with a half inch dowel and two hooks and on the first cast I caught a bass, and now I am getting ready to start up a web site to hopefully get back some of the money I have spent over the years building and testing my lure. I love it, it can drive you crazy when you put a lot of work into a lure and on your first cast to test it your line breaks I just went home and started another one and after that another one till I got it right, more goes into a lure than most people think, so when starting up on a new lure with your own little different type or style I say welcome to the nut house and good luck with your new hobby. Just one more thing KEEP IT SIMPLE TO START WITH! Tight Lines To You And Good Luck. Wayne

LPO has some not sure they are big enough they have two sizes. Wayne

Question #1 Can you spray over createx paint or do you have to use enamels to under coat. I know they say use their products for under coating. #2 With what do you clean your airbrush with. Wayne

Mark you are starting to move into a modern age. Wayne

My best guess is airbrushing! Wayne

Smalljaw Yes that is what I was talking about a barrel roll, years ago I made a tool that made barrel rolls for musky baits but can't seem to find it so before I make another I was just wondering if it will make some sort of difference. Thanks Guys for all the information. Wayne

Would you get better vibe's from a barrel roll because of its flexing. I could see the closed wire for heaver baits. Wayne

One question I am about to get some spinner baits do you prefer R-bend.....Barrel roll...……… Twist. Musky size 3/4oz to 2oz. Wayne

I really think we are getting carried away with this. For small amounts just use the small med cups and larger ones like me for brushing large lures the big drinking cups. How cheap can we get 3.75 for one cup that's a lot of med cups to use while waiting for epoxy to cure to pop out time is my concern just my 2 cents. Wayne

I used a 4" plastic pipe with a coffee filter on the bottom of it then, with another one on the bottom with a air valve to adjust the air making the powder float. I wish I still had it but sold it on ebay years ago. It worked great. Wayne

I thin my KBS 10 to 15% Wayne

Using KBS Diamond clear and just let drip no turning, no problems. Wayne

While I am spraying my lures after each color I have a bucket of hot to warm water with some soap added and blow the brush in and out of the water till clean, then using a little of brush cleaner and spray it till empty. I take apart the brushes when I start to have the slightest problem, just don't want to fight it and screw up a paint job. It takes no time at all to do. Like mark said when you think it is blowing good clean it and then see the results, you will be happy you did it . Wayne

Mark try this...…….51 UV LED Scorpion Detector Hunter Finder Ultra Violet Blacklight Flashlight AA its on ebay If not the lure than you can go Scorpion hunting ! Wayne

Maybe Cedar Run has some. Wayne
