Cami Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Dear Guys, following the system suggested by Larry Dalhberg , I tried to spray the alcohol ink of some marker pens (black Copic, Bic Marking Color for others) upon some soft baits, but I did not use the Copic Airbrush System, I used this manual "airbrush" https://www.amazon.com/Ranger-Holtz-Distress-Marker-Spritzer/dp/B00IRHZOPY . It is easy to spread the color and you can use also stencils. Moreover you do not need a compressor. Of course It is not possible to reach the results of an airbrush pen, but, as some of You know, it is a really pain in the ass to handle a soft bait painted with acrylics to do the dipping process before their peeling off. Alcohol inks are instead aggressive Vs. PVC, but bleed so, also in this case, it is necessary a final bath in clear plastisol (as suggested by Larry). If you wish to see some examples, then here you are the link of my post in the Italian Lure Maker Forum http://autocostruzione.forumcommunity.net/?t=59427234 . The Pintail bait is a white pearl base, other baits are in clear ambra (recycled transparent plastisol). You can use this manual airbrushing system also for hard baits ... it is cheap. Hoping to be useful to someone, I wish You Happy New Year. Cami Edited December 31, 2016 by Cami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
