Try this bit http://m.lowes.com/product?langId=-1&storeId=10702&catalogId=10051&productId=3824357&store=595&view=detail&nValue=SEARCH I really like it. Carves well and you get two. I've carved some pretty small (1") bodies with it. Can also free hand some pretty unique bodies.

I use a dremmel with carving bits. They make em real small. Just watch the fingers.

Thanks y'all. Makes me want to make another. Did a tub test today...good action. It'll probably catch the bigest fish, you guys can stop trying.

http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/index.php?/gallery/image/12756-first-one/ Have a look. It ain't as good as most of what gets posted on here but its my first and I can't wait to fish it.

Lots of trial and error. Lots of mistakes. This ones not perfect but its the first one I've completely finished. Thanks to all y'all for all your postings and advise. -
Sorry for the delay, been painting. Got the Eclipse, looked like the most versatile, from what I could tell. Also had an amazon gift card so couldnt pass it up. Thanks for everyones adbise and help. Hopefully I'll have a picture worthy lure before fishing season starts.

Got my iwata today. Night and day from the master. Might stick with this after all
-
Afraid of that. Guess I'll order a new gun and try again
-
Gravity feed. Brand new gun. Only sprayed test boards and 1 lure. Seems like an equipment problem to me. Can't be my fault.
-
Hope to make something worth posting. Lure looks good. One day, I hope to compete with that level. You got skills. -
Using a master g233. Createx opaque color. .5 mm needle. 50 psi. Tried 40 as recommended but couldn't get good paint spray so turned it up. Have to cut paint 30-50% to get spray at all. It doesn't seem right to me after watching who knows how many airbrush vidios on YouTube. I guess I just need to keep fiddling with it until I figure out what works in my situation. Today is the first time I got the garage up to about 75 for an extended period. Once the paint warmed up it performed better but still not as expected. Not much flow. Have to pause to get coverage.

Thanks Ben, that makes more sense than a paint needing heat. Im a gc and work with a lot of paints. Never heard of one needing heat to cure properly, but dont work with these types of paint. Mostly house paint. Really struggling with the airbrush. Barely puts out any paint. Use to a airless sprayer for houses. They put out a ton of paint quick like. Hope I can figure this out, seems like a great hobbie, given my background and love for fishing. Also my dislike for fishing lure prices.

Thank you for the info. You are a scholar and a gentleman
-
So does that mean that it is not necessary to heat dry unles you are trying to speed the painting process?
-
Making my first lure. See where everyone talks of heat curing createx paint. Whats the best way to do so? I have my first, poorly painted, lure hanging in front of my wood heater. Blower is on and lure is twirling from a string. Is this ok, enough, too much? Lemme hear your thoughts. And hoe long until it is heat cured?
