Welcome to TU!! Not sure what is the strongest clearcoat out there is, but I use Devcon 2ton, Etex and just started using Dupont automotive clearcoat a few months ago. All three work great but have different applying to each. Devcon and etex both have to be placed on a drying wheel after applying, so the clear dries evenly. The automotive you can spray and hang up, but have to take extreme measures to spray. You can use the search feature and find a ton of info on clears. Patrick

Awesome work Bud, Your blending looks great on your photofinish baits!! Hopefully your friend will catch a Lake Falcon TOAD on one you painted for him. Patrick -
Awesome work Mikko, That foil job on the first one is AMAZING!! Those eyes on them are killer also!! Patrick -
Envirotex can be bought at Hobby Lobby. A good may guys use it for a clearcoat for their painted baits. Fatfingers has a great tutorial for Etex, posted in the How To section of TU. Patrick

I have the Iwata HP-CR that I use for my thicker paints and pearls. It has been a great little airbrush and I have been using it for two years now. When changing paints, I keep a spray bottle full of water, to rinse out the airbrush between colors. Once you spray the paint out of the brush, fill the paint cup with water and place your finger over the tip of the brush and push the trigger on the brush, to make it backflush. This will make the remainder of the paint come out of the brush. You can go from light paint to dark without having to clean out the brush. Just make sure to fully clean the brush well after each day of painting. Hope that helps a little!! You can use the Search Bar and put in "Cleaning Your Airbrush" and get lots of good advice for keeping a clean airbrush. Patrick

Nice looking bait Coley!! -
Ben is correct on the foil!! When the sun hits the foil, it doesnt get any shinier than that.

Nice looking little crank!! Did you add the ballast before pouring the RC3 or after it had already hardened? Patrick -

Thanks Ben!! We needed a little mulch around the house. Lol I am loving the Murphy's Carving Knife, You can carve some great detail with that knife. You and Gene were dead on about how well it carves. Thanks again for helping me with keeping it sharp!! Patrick
