gliders Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Fishon son,i use copper tape sold for guitar pick ups with no problem at all, fix to lure,wipe with alcohol, coat epoxy,no issues with tarnishing or adhesion and fairly easy to use. Bit heavier than aluminium and not tried on small lures ,but nice effect and user friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 If your looking for a bright gold color have you tried spraying Createx sunshine (or is it sunrise) yellow over silver foil? Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I know this isn't tape, but have you thought about copper leaf? A little finicky but works well. I started working with it not long ago. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I tried the Venture brand copper tape and yes, it tarnished badly under an epoxy topcoat. I think the company discontinued it for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 One one house I had the sheet metal shop clad an entry door in copper sheeting, and then sheet metal shop treated them with acid to get a really neat, almost marbled, finish. They were coated with clear urethane afterward, and looked great. The idea came from some copper hoods that shop had done. Maybe some kind of a chemical treatment before they are coated would work for copper foiled baits, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 copper tape I use is much like venture tape but slightly heavier, have it on glider pattern that has been used for year and a half. Copper still shiny as day it was made, will post picture of finish if useful when I get chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Copper foil tape under epoxy after 18 months, no change. Foil can be a lot smoother over smooth surface,this one shows woodgrain and was made in a hurry for a particular trip but shows foil as shiny as day it was done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
