rlcam Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I was wondering if any of you buy tulle from some of the online stores? I can't wash and reuse mine like you can with waterbase paint.I am about to run out and the local Walmart quit selling it.I have my mother-in-law looking everywhere for some but no luck.I bought two different types,one is stiff and the other is more flexible,I use the flxible.I have some of the garment bags with the larger size holes,but need the smaller holes.I just recieved twenty or so baits and need some tulle ....Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoya Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Rob, Go the fishing department in Wal-mart and buy some minnow nets. They make some great scale patterns. Also, check your local fabric stores, Hobby Lobby, or any other craft stores that may be available in your area. A tip for using the tulle: get some aerosol spray adhesive, spray one side of the tulle (not the lure), let the adhesive dry and stick it to the side of your lure. Spray your paint, peel off the tulle and you're ready to finish painting. BTW, this tip comes from Coley. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Rob, I get mine from Hobby Lobby. Go online to Hobby Lobby and they usually have a 40% off coupon. Tulle isn't much a yard to begin w/ but 40% off allows you to get more for your money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCBOS Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Rob There are lots of choices depending on the size of scale you want, from screen material at Home Depot, to tulle at Michael's or Hobby Lobby, to net material in the pet store and fishing minnow dip nets.

atrophius Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 One thing i will add is, try and get a material that is some what pliable. I got some of it from Michael's and it did not conform to the baits to well. I actually had to do a bunch of folds to get it to lay down.

DanCampbell Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Try the plastic sponges they sell at Wally World for .99 cents, they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
