cz75b Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 is anyone out there making these tiny items? I was in a tacklestore and saw these minature devices sell for between $1-3 each and they looked easy to make...a small purchase of ice blades, some hooks and a soldering gun got me going quickly, hold hook with hemostats over the blade, flux on the blade, melt a drop of solder and then place over the hook on the blade, keep the gun on the puddle and it works! Well most of the time, then prime with white then vinyl lure paint and I figure I have about a dime each in them....anybody have any hints to increase the success rate?
