alsworms Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 As a general rule, when you ask a question like, "Do you see anything I am missing or have any suggestions?", we as members will easily triple your bill. Seriously, those are good choices, but I'll throw in my 2 cents and add black coloring too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brophy Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks guys, I am married and my wife is very surportive of all of my habits, I mean hobbies. After the several thousands of dollars I have spent on fishing over the years a few more won't even be noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yes, you have missed one key thing, the delivery address. Call me and I will give you mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Might as well buy three molds for a discount, one will not be enough, believe me.

pat28 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Save on future shipping fees. Buy another 5-10 colors. At 5$ ea. , you would not want to pay 10-20 dollars in shipping just for coloring in a month from now. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat28 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Also, a dedicated microwave, if you do not already have one. The fumes will prevent you from using the microwave for food. Or at least, that is what your wife will argue. :-) Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Good call. Once you get really into it, you'll want molds, molds, and more molds. Trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
