  1. The different styles ( or looks ) function pretty much the same , I make all mine myself and recently made two " Stonfo " whip finishers that work amazing . Camera and phone are smashed so when I get a new one I'll post pics Have fun man
  2. This will no doubt help alot of people , thanks for sharing !!
  3. Also try a very lightly dusting the mold with baby powder before you pour resin ,( not sure what this does chemically but it has helped my bubble problems ) , there are bubbles from mixing the resin, and the pouring hole is the highest point so this where the bubbles collect
  4. You could try round split shot with a wire harness like for the glass eyes , powder paint white then apply an enamel glow paint or powder paint of your choice
  5. Had people at work slipping as they walked across the cross walk during the summer last year so I was puzzled knowing it wasn't ice , How were they slipping ? So when I went to check out the area I found the white stripping was lifting and a fine dust covered each stripe making it slick , I immediately new this was the spheres ( or what not )that makes the G finish and went for a broom and dust pan , Luckily the wind came up and blew it all over the place and I wasn't able to get enough of the clean product
  6. Using a white primer or basecoat help to make the glow brighter , try using a 15 minute or longer curing epoxy . Then mix in your pigment and stir well ( trying not to get crazy with air bubbles ) Glow enamel works great I just hate the smell , good luck !
  7. X 2 with the smelly jelly , though any oil / scent helps slide things in place . Darker tubes I use crawdad scent and for the lighter colors I use a shad or other scent . Works great on Huddlestons to slip past teeth in a bass for better hook ups . Have fun with the tubes !
  8. Definitely Sepia !

    Chatter

    Curious as I don't understand how connecting a blade ( making a chatterbait ) is so frowned upon but we can copy and even mold an original lure and no one seems to care . Thanks Guys
  10. Those look great ! And all the pictures tell a nice story ... Have fun out there sir

    Cultiva Topwater

    I really like the Owner Cultiva bait and this is the last one I have (I believe they don't make them anymore ) , RC-3 tan resin and my hand cut stencils where used . Time is just around the corner , WTD . Thanks for looking

    Baby powder

    Thank you to whoever posted here to use the powder to dust mold before pouring resin in mold . I have had zero bubbles , zero problems with my last topwater lure I'm working on that has very deep cuts for the gills .Complete pours and lure demolds so easy , will extend the life of the mold too .
