  12. need help AGAIN.... a few weeks ago i asked for help with a problem i'm having with dnite wrinkling paint....parrothead127 was kind enough to offer a solution (thin with ppg dtl 105 @ a rate of 50-50)that really didn't cure my problem....i use lacquer paints....polytranspar and life tone mostly...i use deft sand and sealer and put on two coats....then white base coat...then my colors...i have heat set for as long as 3 or 4 hours....also i have tried createx clear on top and heat set that and then wait til the next morning to dip in dnites...same results...wrinkled paint....i might add that i use a lot of transparent paints if that makes any difference....also when mixing 50-50 i don't get good coverage...what about retarder???? parrothead do you or ANYONE have more suggestions??????? PLEASE PLEASE HELP
  13. can anyone tell me if you need to stir dick nite's before using ??????thanks
  14. the fins are definately hindering the swim of the bait....however i don't think it would swim without the fins on it.....you need a bill under the head (as you would see on other swimbaits or shallow divers) that deflects water and gives it action....for a bait that size i would try a bill approx 3/4 inch long and 3/4 inch wide. it is tapered from the front to back....try and see if it helps.....nugene
  15. parrothead 127.....thanks for the imfo...actually i was not the one who asked the question but that is exactly ONE of my problems!!!!!!UNBELIEVABLE......you can bet i have already located the 105 and i'll get it this morning!!!!!what i did ask was ....what exactly is heat setting?????and how important is it??????thanks
