Is there anyone out there that still uses lacquer paint and if so who do you get it from. looking for smaller amounts 1/2 pint and less. Not having a lot of luck with the water base stuff. Been using lacquer too long. 2Tbone

Guys I would like to bring this back up for help. I know the foil BobP is talking about I too have been searching for some myself. I have a friend that made jerk baits years ago and he had the exact foil that the bagleys used on their baits. He said he got it from a florist shop. When he said that I remembered that was the foil that they wrapped flower pots with. The problem is I have stopped at flower shops all over the country and no one has it. Can anyone help with this new information. Thanks 2TBone

Lil Skeeter Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to wonder if there was anyone out there. The butt im working with is a split grip cork with a rubber end and its not removeable. I did contact the folks at Mud Hole and was told the only way was to drill it out, being very careful. So I guess im drilling Thanks anyway for reply 2TBone

Guy,s Can anyone tell me where I can get the pearl base coat like the stuff they use on the old Bagley Balsa baits. I shoot lacquer paint if this makes a difference. Thanks 2TBone

Bob Thanks for the reply I think you understood what I was looking for. I have used the knob on the vise grips for a pattern. I guess I was hoping someone might know what was used to make the pattern on that bait. Thanks for your guide on doing the pattern. I did my pattern prior to the foil, will try your trick. Thanks 2TBone

Fellow Bait Makers I need some information, I could not find what I was looking for on a TU search. Can anyone tell me what kind of tool can be used to make a pattern on a balsa bait prior to foiling. The one that I have seen and like is the pattern on a D-Bait. Can anyone tell me what he might be using for this pattern. Thanks in Advance 2TBone

Need some help. Is there any other way to make a bait pattern other than tracing around the bait. I have done it but, it dosen't look like the bait most of the time. Has anyone tried making a 1/2 body mold of the bait that could be placed on the wood and then traced. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Terry (2TBone)

Tony I like to use heat shrink tubbing in the place of thread. Use some thread to hold feathers in place, then place the heat shrink over that. It Works Hope this helps 2TBone

Thanks for the info BobP. I wasn't sure if there was something to strip them with or not. I would assume that if there was a spot that was down to wood it could be filled and sanded smooth. Thanks again Terry (2TBone)
