No Mr.t it helped me just as it did you, THANKS GUYS. Wayne

Before you buy from Amazon try Dick Blicks better price and buy enough with paint or double your order get free shipping. Wayne

Anybody paint with the Candy Colors How did it work or paint for you. Wayne

First what type of wood. I use white cedar and no need to seal I just use a thinned Zinsser and spray. No need to heat but let it stay overnight then give it a scratch test with your finger nail. The Rustoleum X2 primer I use on plastic lures. Wayne

I agree with Salty...…….I also, if I could remember but I can't, so try you tube there was a guy that showed how to beef up your gun and fix leaks on them. Just try posting your problem on you tube and see what you get. Wayne

I would check with the guys in the wire forum Wayne

I have tried many clear coats over time but for me I have always come back to etex for musky baits and KBS for dipping the bass baits. So that's all I use now, tired of chasing clear coats which there is no magic one. The high producers are set with what works for them because of consistency for there product and that's what I do now. No more experimenting YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wayne

You can always put a weight 18" to 2' in front of your lure to bring it down for deeper depths. Wayne

I put a little petroleum jelly on the wide mouth lid. Helps me! Wayne

ALL POINTS TAKEN...…………….DONE Wayne

But maybe you don't have to charge .25 maybe its more or less, just to add it on doesn't seem right to me. Good Luck with your business. Wayne

I treat shipping different than most guys, I just don't add it to the lure when I purchase some. To me it comes under expense of the company and at the end of the year I can see what my shipping is and where to save on it. I know it all comes down to profit and loss but if you can, just don't say it cost me $1.00 per lure and I will just charge $3.00 that will cover everything, that's is where you are wrong, I am no CPA but I have been in a printing business for over 25 yrs. Retired now! You have to look at the whole picture and bundle up your orders to save on shipping where you can maybe bigger orders which bring down everything and some times free shipping.

Thanks Mark I will check them out. Wayne

Does anyone use Auto-Air candy colors on there lures and any problems with them. I am starting to play with them but before I do I could use some info on them any videos on this I seem to get just auto body videos. Wayne

Yes I make two piece molds I just make them a little thicker all around the mold with no problems you can go to there web site and they have a lot more to offer than you think. check them out. Now not Dick Blick but Smooth-On.com wayne

Try Dick Blick oomoo 30 works great used it many of times. I generally buy 2 sets and get free shipping. Wayne

I would say USA better in the long run, more quality and control of your product, yes you will pay more but more peace of mind. Wayne

I think I will stick with my little lathe and knife plus a rubber mold to make my lures. ………….how do you spell CNC? Wayne

And what's the cost of a CNC! ……..unless you have a business that you have one or in a production level. Wayne

Just trying to organize my paint bottles. I have a mess. Wayne

No problem Bladesandbaits. Tight Lines To You. Wayne

I am always looking for something that will be the best to use haven't found it yet but happy with etex and KSB. Just wondering on what bladesandbaits said. hmm! Wayne

I checked out Delta Labs,...……. Response they are no longer in business...…….. And I just sent them another email Wayne

Use Micro balloons, they will work just takes a little time getting the formula right. I use them all the time. Once you get all the ballast and hooks plus any hardware then you can play with the micro balloons. Don't forget the paint and clear coat it all adds up. I don't think the resin makes that much of a difference, one might be better to work with than another resin but when it comes to the finish the micro balloons will do it just make sure you write down the formula each time. When I get my formula right each lure is within + - 1 gram. Wayne

I use the yellow Frog Tape 60 day clean removal / low adhesion is better than the 14 day tape which sticks and is harder to remove. wayne
