Fin wheel stencil is great but too small for you. I make my own decals.

I buy small plastic bottles with the Yorker cap and mix up a couple ounces of bone. Same general idea as Mark and bob. Sometimes I will add a lil pearl to it or over it (second pic).

I only have Lurecraft electric blue. Its a good color to start most blues. Remember the black next to it will darken it some. Salt may make the match closer or a lil bit of white. First is real Yammy. Second is LC Electric blue no additives. Third is LC EB with tiny bit of white pearl powder

Be careful if a thinning additive (in my case acetone) is used in the epoxy as it can take the color off the glitter.

Ty. So which one do you think I have. The 3.5" or 3"?

Got this sample from Jason, oh.....just a few years ago What size is it? Ty Good for a NED style bait? ty

That is water based liquid. NEVER add water to plastisol.

At that price point there really is no need for a "sterter kit" as you will be hand pouring. This will get you started. 1-2 cup pyrex cup small microwave. Usually Five bucks at a church or yard sale. (not the same one you cook your food in) Oven mitts or gloves Safety glasses Butter knife to stir Lurecraft has a lot of molds available. Dont get something too complicated with a lot of skinny appendages. http://www.lurecraft.com/PLASTIC-MOLDS/departments/33/ Medium Plastic. http://www.lurecraft.com/Plastic-Formula-502/productinfo/1X502/ Couple colorants http://www.lurecraft.com/TRANSPARENT/products/14/ .035 glitter http://www.lurecraft.com/035-GLITTER/products/179/ Heat stabilizer. http://www.lurecraft.com/Plastic-Additive-HEAT-STABILIZER/productinfo/1X104/

I had a buddy try similar recipes. You thought Senkos fell apart easy?

Moisture from the summer high humidity.

Pearls are like colorant and color the inside of the bait. Hilite adds more of a skin color to the outside of the bait.

Not sure why you want laquer but water bases Createx flor yellow is good

This is Createx iridescent yellow and lime if that helps.

You should scuff the blanks with a red 3m pad till they are not hiney for better adhesion Clean with regular Isopropyl alcohol. Shack your paints better for #2 Immediately after brushing Epoxy Is clean the eyes out with a small pick. I dont use a drying wheel but hand rotate the bait 180 degrees every 5-10 mins till it starts to thicken

Not sure why you would need to add the floor wax. I always thinned Createx with tap water only and never had a prob. I tried the Createx reducer (which smells like Windex) and found no difference in spraying or cleanup.

I would think fairly simple using a broom handle or dowel.

Spaz Stix is painted over black base and is not water based. Here is green to purple but hard to show in pics. Createx iridescent blue changes to purple.

Folk Art is cheapest. Spaz Stix is better.

If selling get the Mustad KVD's from Cedar Run. Best prices and customers "think" they are good These have the regular points which are just OK I think the Needle Point is the better more expensive ones. Personally I like Gammy

Yes imaged Rock Bass. But back is painted brown and dusted with gold pearl

There is a guy in Israel that is reasonable. Forgot the name. Printalure maybe?

Absolutely no reason to use enamel. There are plenty of water based paints available. Metallic s wont spray through most .030-.050 guns anyway. Use of pearls and dusting them will give a sparkly look. flake in clear too.

I have this large space on left that pushes images right.

Youtube has great tutorials.
