Hello everyone, I have been following the forum and learning from everyone. I decided I'd wait to join until I had something to contribute, so here it is.....
I got tired of dealing with masking tape on the lip of my airbrushed crankbaits, so I tried something and turns out it works great. I used heat shrink tubing from Harbour Freight. Slide it over the lip, heat it until it shrinks tight. Then trim it with an Xacto knife. Put a small slit where the eyelit is, and your done. It fits like a glove yet, slides right on and off so it's reusable after paint, and an added feature is the aligator clips don't damage the lip.
