I just eyeball... I have no recipe.

I have tried it.... Pass for me.

PS... I don't use reducer.... I use water, windex and future floor finish.

I have been spraying folk art craft paint for many years.... I'm still trying the $4 color shift.

I'd consider this if they had big bottles and a bigger brush. I don't have time to make 300 strokes per bait.

I'm going to try the plaid/folk art

I recently placed an order w/o any trouble.... But this was an e-mail I was sent the week before I ordered... " Dear Valued Customers, As many of you are aware there has been a large delay in orders over the last month. I want to apologize personally to anyone who had an order that got caught up in this backlog, it was the result of a huge change in my personal life which came about as a result of a sudden and un-expected end to a year long engagement to my now "ex" fiance' which also required me to completely re-structure my day to day life and living situation. I deeply regret and am truly sorry that this problem in my personal life affected my business so badly and I assure everyone we are now caught up to orders that were placed in the last 24 hours. If you have an order placed during the last 5 weeks that still does not have updated tracking it should update within 24 hours or less, if not please reply to this email with your order number. I have a trusted friend helping me out and we will now start to go through and respond to the many messages that we also got behind on. As an apology to everyone and in order to show we are ready to handle new orders there is a 25% off sale from now until Sunday at midnight. Just enter AVID725 at checkout to receive 25% off your entire order. Thank You F. Webb"

Open brain, Open links, ……………. Then open mouth.

Yes... They are stickers.

I'm a VMC fan

Lisa and Ed never gave me any money..... But I have had nothing but great service and quality from their products... That's why all of my tackle making friends use them too.

Buy Brass for paint... https://www.barlowstackle.com/Vibrating-Blade-Lure-P2631.aspx http://www.anglersworkshop.com/Ice-Fishing-LuresANG/Blade-Bait http://www.lurepartsonline.com/Online-Store/Blade-Baits/V-Blade-Baits.html

Most fisherman "Want" the blade to knock on the head.... That is a goal. Some of the best crankbaits have a ton of the paint worn off. I wouldn't change anything personally.

A few min after it's hanging, take a piece of cardboard and bump the drip and it will go away. Some use a piece of wire hanging off to let the drip roll down.

KBS for me... I have been done with all 2 part products for a very long time.

I use air brush paint, folk art etc... I do not use KBS paint. I just bought from their web site.

PS: I do have about 300 Gamakatsu 3/0 sproat hooks with 60* leg in black nickel that have just been sitting here... I was going to make a mold for them, And never did.

In the 35 years of tournament fishing/bait making years ...……. I have not seen any benefit using a sproat hook. I prefer round bends 99% of the time. Some cases I need to use the EWG style. That's just me...

I just ordered more and they have a 15% off coupon code... EBT718 Ends July 31

KBS Diamond Clear

Lightly tap with a hammer. I have broke the handles off with not much force. It's just cast aluminum.

The 3886 is the best in my opinion... But Eagle Claw now makes the distributers now buy 25,000 per size instead of 1000... You will see this hook disappear from most places and get deleted. That's why I recently put in a lifetime order... LOL And may get more.

My method uses far less wire and is pretty fast after you do some.

Modifying the mold is easy. No better way to get what you want for cheap.

I think these look much better in the water... https://store.do-itmolds.com/Ultra-Minnow-BladebrSz-34-1-1-14-1-12brHk-Mustad-TR78NP-2-or-4_p_1269.html
