SmokeyJ Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 talks about making them http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/member-submitted-tutorials/5192-kb-how-make-your-own-lips.html Last page of the pdf talks about finishing the edges http://www.knoll.com/techdoc/ImagoPrints_Fab_Tech.pdf Any of the standard lure component websites will have lips, but odds are they won't have one that is just what you want.

jimbo Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Try sign shops they discard small pieces all the time just make sure it,s lexan(polycarbonate) and not plexiglass as plexiglass will break much easier.They,ll have different thicknesses as well depending on the size of the sign.
