I posted about this in a different topic, if you have bent needles this straightens them, has good reviews. https://1033e661-0007-11e6-8e92-14feb5d39fb2.onlinestore.godaddy.com/products/sharpenair-needle-sharpener

Anybody that has multiple airbrushes probably has multiple bent fluid needles. Came across this tool on a FB group I’m in. https://1033e661-0007-11e6-8e92-14feb5d39fb2.onlinestore.godaddy.com/products/sharpenair-needle-sharpener

Checkout Greg Vinall on Youtube, he has some good info. I got a pdf on crankbaits lips from him, can't figure how to copy to here. I open his template of the lip i want, zoom to out on one and screen capture it, copy it into a word processor. I resize to the size i want then duplicating it to fill up the page making my own template. then print it out, cut out what i want and tack glue it to the lexan (its protective cover) and cut it out on my bandsaw and sand the edges, then wipe the edges with acetone. Here's a copy of an original. He offered these for anyone to use.

These are well made stencils, they have a list for what lures to use. Lure me in custom crankbaits on youtube uses them. http://www.lurecolourstudio.com/3d-printed-stencils/

I've got a couple quarts of Solarez, to me it has a tendency to crack like an eggshell. I now use it as a base coat only the times i don't use D2T. Just watched a youtube video, the guy used this non yellowing epoxy for a top coat. http://www.artresin.com

I'm sure it could be done by a lot more talented airbrush user than me. Wondering about an idea from other threads here, taking an image of a spawn sac and printing it on decal paper.

Found some info here on the process, sounds expensive. http://www.finishing.com/384/48.shtml . There are some good chrome paints out on the market that might work for you.

Yes, I use a dremel tool plus hand sand to get my contours.

Others and myself have been using HDU foam, easy to work with, machines great on CNC, seals and paints good. we get ours at the link below, for bass lures order the HDU scrap grab box for ten bucks. http://atlassignsandplaques.com

Buy, build your own or find someone that has a cnc router. They make quick work out of lip making.
