gadawgs Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I have never done this but have wondered the same thing. You may want to try heating the bait.( don't melt a hole in the bait.). Also try the paint mentioned above. Let us know what you find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Finally figured it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, you sure did! That's one sweet looking frog! Care to enlighten us?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggs man Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Its a secret!!!!!!! I cleaned the bait with laquer thinner and again with isopropyl alcohol primed it with Fascolor Lexan paint with an added UV hardner and it was on from there. I actually made a few cast in the snow with it and even the abrasion from frozen snowdidnt wear the paint off. By the way I cured the paint under a UV for 30 minutes first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way I cured the paint under a UV for 30 minutes first I have been thinking about what to use for soft frog bodies for awhile. I have someone now who wants me to paint them a frog. I used to paint R/C bodies and was considering Faskolor paints since they are for polycarbonate and the paint will remain flexible and resistant to cracking. But wasn't sure how to protect to the paint from the water. So is the UV hardner that you added protecting the paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the bass would break right through the ice for that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure--Prof Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Parma Fascolor paints for Lexan are one and the same as Createx Airbrush Colors...it's all about the marketing. As I've used both for several years on every bait I paint, I always assumed it was so, and it was recently confirmed by my good friend David Sullivan who made a call to either Createx or Parma, and confimed that they are indeed the same paint.
