1.5mm = 0.059 inch lexan plenty strong for minnows up to 3 inch If you want transparent lip. Also j.pig and bob.p ,trout are more selective and intelligent than bass ,I would imagine...........
-
Out of interest mark, what weight is the p.v.c you guys use per cubic foot?
-
Hey dale, I can get down to 0.75mm if needed, few quid a sheet in u.k. so quite handy. Have a good 2017......glider

Hope all you guy's have a good and prosperous new year, and your lures run well....glider

I use lexan on similar trout lures, 1-1.5mm.depending size . Pic of few minnows in gallery using 1.5mm. Works well. Like jiginpig I like to chamfer bill, but not worth the hassle on small minnows for me. Unlike bass guy's, I'm not bouncing them off rocks and snags as a method ,so lexan works for me.

Good work , apreciated and all the best for 2017 guy's.

Your bandsaw will almost certainly just need set up properly, watch set up video a few times. Make sure you have a decent blade for the job.

Sure it's meant tongue in cheek ben

Cheers jp,nicer looking lure. On To do list for new year.

No ! Got flu and told complete rest j.p, but out of interest I had a look and noticed one version appeared to have round cross section ,so could be turned . Am i correct ? Cheers......glider
-
Thanks centigrade, no probs then .
-
Good pics 21xdc, nice one.
-
Looking good centigrade, I did email wtp, but no reply. You'd think it might be something they would be interested in producing as peel off and stick scale. Maybe no demand. I will have to scource from china probably, getting translucent adhesive pearl or holo proving difficult to source in u.k.
-
One reason this is the best forum of its kind !
-
Thats whats on lures in my pics 21xdc, but trust me , far from ideal for scales,way to much hassle due to fragility and lack of adhesive backing. I do use it for complete coverage on some lures though, the holographic jake type with stripes in my last pic is one example. ........glider
-
O.k will give them a try ,and yes fish eye is when contamination of material causes epoxy to pull away and leave bare spot.
-
I've just noticed the stuff your using is waterproof pressure sensitive adhesive ,so above obviously doesn't apply if your not coating over scales. I may be able to source similar from china more cost effectively than ordering from U.S , .......glider
-
Hey centigrade, had a look at wtp, i like the look of your transparent holo, it doesn't mention which ones are transparent, are they all transparent? Im struggling to find transparent, adhesive backed foil anywhere ,and as i am in scotland i need to be sure i order correct stuff or cost could be a horror !
-
Nice effect centigrade, I am resisting the urge to get into workshop ,been warned i need total rest to be rid of flu ,b####r ! .1 other thing centigrade, and dont know if this applies to your build, if you are using e-tex be careful to clean scales to avoid fish eye's. Alcohol can affect adhesive and acetone destroys it . I cleaned foil surface with alcohol before punching, then used small bit of tapered blue tac to lift and place scale's . Keep me posted, cheers. .......glider
-
I like it,did you use punch ? and adhesive backed foil?
-
Centigrade, be careful squeezing leather punch cutters, do it slowly ,and dont go to far. If you over do it the cutter can split. I would also recommend using bit of card or thick paper underneath whatever foil you're using when punching out,this gives a cleaner cut. Like i said ,I just used what happened to be lying about to get an idea of the look, and to test the application process. If i can help with this,let me know. Once i am rid of flu I plan on taking it further ,with different foils and effects. Regards.........glider
-
Having not tried p.v.c travis, got to ask why you wouldn't use it for other lure styles? .......glider
-
Only seen pics of one jp, seemed to be sitting down on surface, so just hooks and hardware enough ? Like i say, i am just looking at the idea of a similar,turned,two section waking lure . Surprised it doesn't lose stability or roll. I'll give it a shot ,cheers......glider
-
Yes ,sand then clear,steel wool could leave tiny bits in epoxy.
-
Like it Mcgyv...sorry, dale, so does the duplicator do one side then you turn blank for the other ?
