LOZ Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I get my stuff from Hobby Lobby in the fabric section, comes in a few different styles and its dirt cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsteel Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey Heavy, I like minnow netting like you find on those little nets for cathing your goldfish. I but the large ones from wal-mart and cut off the net. Its about the right size scale for me....Oscar:popcorn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Smith Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey Heavy.... I too use the stuff from Jann's and Stamina... but I also use nylon screening from Lowes/Home Depot..... minnow netting, as mentioned above...... and one of my favorites (that I learned from Dean) is to get the mosquito netting at Walmart and cut it to fit. I use several sizes of embroidery hoops...... Hope you got some rain up there..... drying out down this way...... BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosouthpaw Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 at walmart they sell scrunchies (sp?) the stuff you use in the shower with shower wash. Its a cheap netting material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellure Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Try a ladies fabric or sewing store. They typically offer countless types of netting, tule, ect,... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 If you're making bigger lures with flat sides, self-adhesive drywall web tape cut and set square, or to a 45 degree angle works well. The adhesive doesn't lift airbrush paint that's been heat set, and it's cheap. I cut individual pieces for my sectional baits, so I can paint them assembled without worrying about the parts shifting and the mesh tape moving during handling.

pizza Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 shallot "bags" (shallots are kinda like small onions). Onion "bags". I'm looking for a source of mesh like that found on the back section/side pockets of certain backpacks and other outdoor gear like some climbing rope bags. This has more and thicker material and thus lets less paint through (unlike shallot bags, onion bags, and some of the webbing I found at hobby lobby).

FERG DADDY Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I was at the store the other day and they sell a sock that is used for feeding the birds thistle seed. It looked like it had just the right size hexagons and it was only like 2 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavycover Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I just remembered the bag that you use in the wash to put delicate stuff in has a nice mesh. ( I dont do laundry) haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
