dtrs5kprs Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 ...from the email I sent & you replied to earlier this week about re-painting old balsa b's: Do you suggest wet sanding? Concerned about getting water into the grain by doing that. Really enjoy your "miscellaneous baits" section on the site BTW. Thanks, Dave Reeves.

Hughesy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Dave, Yes I wet sand the balsa baits. Water does not penatrate balsa unless it is under water for long perionds of time. I just think the wet sanding removes the damaged paint faster and leaves a smoother surface when you are done. After sanding let the lure dry for a while and it will be fine.

Skeeter Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 What grit sandpaper do you use to wet sand with? Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Skeet, I will start with 220 and finish with 400 or 600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
