  1. No you don't have to, just be prepared to wait for the free shipping, it took a month for my last order to arrive.
  2. My basement was around 60 degrees when I was having troubles. I put the jar I dip into right in front of an electric heater, and got it nice and warm. I never really had a problem with the paint bleeding though it was more the paint just wrinkling.
  3. I was having troubles with gst recently no matter how much I heat set the paint and the gst worked great early this fall. Thought maybe it was the conditions of the room I was dipping in which was a lot cooler than early fall. I put an electric space heater in the room and got it nice and warm and then dipped and problem solved. A lot fewer drips in the gst, seemed like it flashed off faster and didn't have time to work through all the paint layers. Just something to think about could be ambient conditions?
  4. Anyone know of someone who makes a knock off to the strike king red eye shad or something close? These are my bread and butter in the spring!
  5. That makes sense. Seems to just pull the paint right off of the plastic crank, I touched the bait after it started wrinkling and could just smear all the paint off the plastic like it was wet paint!
  6. Might want to check out www.wlure.com I bought some cheap 1.5s from them and had good luck, caught fish and held up well. Can't tell you the quality of other blanks from them though. I have a few lipless cranks on order from them right now. Oh yea they offer free shipping on everything, but be prepared for your package to take about a month to arrive because it is coming from China. Might also want to check there ebay store wlureshop. The time I bought off there ebay store took only 3 days in shipping.
  7. Hi guys been creepin on this site now for a few months and have to say this site is awesome! Been reading all the posts about this gst and wanted to give it a try since I have a can from a past project. I first tried it on some 1.5s and it worked great. Then I tried it out last week on some DT 10 KOs and noticed a few small wrinkles in the paint. I figured I didn't heat set every layer enough. Then I tried again on some more DT 10s that I took my time and really heat set everything. I let them sit for a few days and decided to dip tonight and the paint really wrinkled up. My question is it my base coat? I am spraying krylon fusion for a base coat and I am wondering if that is causing thd problem? And on the 1.5s that looked great I used an old can of white primer I had lying around. Anyone have any ideas really frustrating painting up a few baits that look great and then go to dip them and have them look like crap. PS using all createx besides the base coat. Should I bd using a createx white for a base? Any help would be great.
