mark poulson Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) I had one of the new artificial wine corks, so I took it, sanded it into a popper shape, cupped the face and put a through wire from front to back. It floats great, and hangs perfect without ballast. Totally waterproof. I was just goofing off, so it's not pretty, but I'm going to play around with priming and painting tomorrow. It's a soft matl., so I'll probably topcoat it with Nu Luster 55, which is a more flexible topcoat than D2T. If it were a hard plastic, D2T would be my choice. Right now it just has a tail hook. I'm still debating whether to make another hook hanger with a loop to intercept the long, front to back through wire. Has anyone else tried this stuff yet? I know, I know, it's just another excuse to drink more wine, like I needed one. Edited September 29, 2008 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTfishingrods Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I can admit it. Everything I look at I envision with a hook in it somehow somway. Or else I am trying to figure out how it would swim. Speaking of swimming I am using the internet down at our local bar and grill. You all should check out the shape of these salt and pepper shakers.
