Yeah, Popcorn, not Cotton. That's cool man! It's a shame he couldn't do what he loved just because the Feds weren't getting their cut. Have a good one!

Yep that is the one the only and sadly the last one Pop Corn Sutton an good friend of my dads and cousin. I learned a lot from him and my dad lol its sad to say I learned more from mule kick makers than school. I use his pick out of respect for the old coot because like him and my dad I chose to do things my way instead of conforming to the masses.

Isn't that Cotton Sutton in that picture? I remember that guy, he lived close to where I grew up.

I very rarely use enamels. If you have a good hobby store around, ask them about Model Master acryl. It is an acrylic made by Testors and sprays pretty good. My favorite though is Tamiya brand. There are alot of natural colors available and it sprays great. For a detailing brush, just find one with a very small needle. I use an Iwata HP-CS for almost all my painting. Sometimes with a very thick metallic, I use my old Badger with a large needle. There are many low cost airbrushes out there that work fine. Main thing is practice and have fun. Good luck!

If you're talking about the CS SealKote, I have used it. It doesn't dry as hard as I would like, it's kind of like a hard rubber when it dries. I sometimes use it on lures for myself, but not ones that I sell.

I think I would add a kill spot. It looks great without it, but I think it would be better with it. Nicely done! -
Looking good! -
Poe's repainted Royal Shad -
This is my first attempt at crawdad. I call it Algae Craw. It's a Bandit 200 repainted green olive with dark green olive body sections, black eyes, and autumn leaves bottom. -
These are great ideas! I would have never thought of the comb! I've been using clear transparencies like you use on an overhead projector so I can see through. It works great for gills and fins, but hard to get a good spray on a full body template.

Hey all, I've been a member here for a year, but forgot I had signed up after my old computer crashed. So, this is my first post. I was wondering what you guys make your templates out of? I've tried a bit of everything, but am not happy with the ease of use or results. The one I've had the biggest problem with is trying to paint evenly spaced vertical straight lines down the side of the lure. Thanks and I Iook forward to reading replies.
