RayburnGuy Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 If your a newbie like me and you use masking tape to cover the bill of the bait before painting, you might want to take the tape off before you apply your clear top coat. On two baits I didn't do this and the clear coat covered part of the tape where the bill meets the body. I had the dickens getting the tape off where the clear coat had covered it.

mark poulson Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Isn't it amazing how top coat will stick to and protect masking tape on a bill, but chips and fails when it's on a lure body. I'm pretty sure we've all done that at least once. I know I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnie3035 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I guess I do it wrong because I always leave the tape on. I carefully trace the tape with an exacto knife before I remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.dsaavedra. Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 yep i've done it too! i had a helluva time trying to get the tape off, i ended up extremely frustrated and smashed the bait to pieces with a sledge hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
