Hi guys was wondering how i can clear coat my jointed lures without the epoxy "sticking" the joint. I thought i saw someone say once that we can use acetone... how does that help? is there anything else we can use? my epoxy i use is Envirotex lite.

Starting a new pvc bait. Going to be attempting to make a shad. I got JRHOPKINS movie and PVC blank earlier in the week and if i could do half as good as him i will be very happy! great stuff all around!! should be a great Sunday Night and I will be posting pics.!

your not lieing Mark. I should have my video by end of the week from john to see how to really make them the right way =) then i will def. be hooked the hole week.

when it was cut in half i notched out a section for them i burnt and epoxied in cotter pins.. this was a last minute effort lol i wouldn't use them normally you can buy it and self bend a ss leader..

I hear the same thing on the bike spokes.

here she is just needs a clear coat... it is currently 5 inches long and is 2.2 oz. i have done the clear coat it's just drying this pic was b4 the clear coat.. do not like how my paint came out at all should of planned it a bit better... however i can not complain about the rest.. def. a new hobby!

Thanks John ur the man! I i did the ballast last night... I have a 1oz weight in the belly and a 1/4 in the rear of the front portion.. without paint or anything we are sitting @ 2oz. even.. can't wait 2 learn from u john! your work is awesome!

So i am working on my first swim bait.. Already noticed some things i will be changing on the next 1.. I think defiantly the hinge will be changed and defiantly looking at using the aztek decking... here are some pics. this is made from a chunk of bass wood. still needs to be weighted and then sealed for the test run... the body itself is 4inches along with tail is a total of 5inches.. not sure how much i should weight it down but we shall see.. any ideas let me know.. for the tail i just used some plexiglass and notched out the tail section and inserted a pressure pin which allows the tail to swim freely..

Thank Sonny! GREAT tutorial! i also ordered a video from John Hopkins can't wait to get that in and combine it!
