Balsa Baits, Scrape And Dent Repair ?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,  I am going through all my treasured baits and I am finding a few that have a few scratches, chips or maybe a slight dent.

 

Mostly just scratches and chips though......and nothing bad at all so far except for one that has the clear coat peeling off bill.

 

My question. Does anyone on here know of someone who might be interested in trying to repair or just clear coat these for me for a decent price ?

 

Or......maybe someone wanting to practice some color schemes or clear coat techniques on some of these baits for me in a few weeks during cold weather ?

 

If so, would you please shoot me a pm with a pre-estimate per bait then after I ship to you and you examine you could give me a firm price to do them and ship back ?

 

I wont be able to do this for about a month but I would like to get some ideas on what I could do.

 

Anything to cover some of the scratches and dents the best you can would be fine. I could even send some pics later on of the baits in question. Most look really good and would not take much I dont think.

 

So far I have found about 10 or 12 balsa baits that need a little tlc.

 

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

 

I would pay with pay pal.

I thought I would update this post.

 

91 clicks on this and not one offer to repair my baits. :wink:

 

Oh well, I guess you guys know you have driven me to do the unthinkable.........try to fix them myself..... :nuhuh:

 

I did get a pm from one of the members here I have bought several baits from on ebay and I think I will take his advice........stick them.......in some sealer ! 8O

 

I made a few baits back 20+ years ago and then dipped them in polyurethane and they turned out pretty well. So I guess I will do this later this winter.

 

I would love to be able to make some baits for fun.

 

Anyway.........have a great fall and winter holiday season.
