gliders Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Pick a doll, here's how I do it.blank lure sealed and lure holder in place,also long screw eye partially inserted,dab of super glue holds both in place.these act as handles when applying foil.You can paint white at this point,if you miss small spots with foil it will show less.Now coat lure in e.tex and also put some on scrap wood at same time for testing later.note time.for me about 8 hours is about correct,the epoxy has to be firm but tacky.here I am using papermania hot foil ,available from Amazon. I will do part 2 in few hours when this blank ready. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 O.k here is s 2nd part,foil placed on lure shiny side up,then using screw eye for support ,rub foil firmly with cloth.now rip off like band aid.Cover rest of lure in same manner.Then go over any spots you missed in same way.lure is now ready to etex as you are coating an untouched ,uncontaminated surface and it takes perfectly to foil.The crucial thing is your surface is smooth before foil but I find one coat e.tex ideal.hope this helps.cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just to add.the reason I didn't like nail foil glue is because it's meant to be able to be peeled off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gliders Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Ddl, if you mean foil to use with this method, search for hot stamp foil, also nail transfer foil is easily found, smaller width,usualy an inch wide, lots of holographic nail foil options, and inexpensive. .....glider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
