markw Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've noticed that most of the spinner blade manufacturers I've used (Hagens, Worth, Lakeland, etc) offer lacquered brass as an option. I assume this prevents brass from tarnishing. Does anyone know what type of lacquer they use, and is it worth it to do your own. Unitil now I've just painted the blades so it didn't matter, but I have requests for brass and not sure which route to go. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 You are correct, while I'm not sure what type of lacquer is used I do know that it is intended to keep the blade from tarnishing. As for doing it yourself, well I don't think the time and effort is worth it versus the price difference, at least for me it doesn't but if you have the time and the proper equipment then lacquering your own blades my work out for you.

Peterjay Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 If you're just doing them for your own use, you could always pick up a bottle of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails with nylon and coat a couple to see how it works. Sally Hansen is widely used in fly tying and is very tough stuff. Or pick up a can of spray lacquer - worst case scenario is that you're out a few bucks, and you can always use the Sally Hansen to polish your toenails if it doesn't work on the spinner blades.
