Gold foil

Recommended Posts

This might give you some insight to regular foil.

Looks like CaptainSeabass  of our own membership on this site can help you out.  See his post and video.

I do know that there are other YouTube tutorials on using aluminum foil, but I just don't like the extra weight.  I tried several foils myself and if you burnish the edges down properly it works, and you can emboss the scales, but again, weight.

Check the above video out for idea then do a search on YouTube.  Also did the following YouTube search.  Too many to count.

Links to products I have either tried, other then leafing products, or plan on trying.  Feel free to jump into the testing and let us know.

I all cases, I use or plan to use a misting of contact adhesive on the lure and then burnish the above foils to the lure.

Good luck.

The best gold I have found is spraying Createx sunrise transparent over silver foil. When the hair dryer hits it and it starts drying there is a drastic change from yellow to a briliant gold color. Good luck.

I misted the Createx Sunrise Yellow as well over the silver foil on the top. With the bottom bait, I misted  Polytranspar Medium Green Bass over Createx Pearl Pineapple over the same silver foil....the top was misted over white stripes and the bottom has the black stripes over the misting. You can see how different colors under, over and the overspray as well can give different looks.  Even the amount misted. I don't think you can make any two exactly alike if you tried. I have never yellow like BobP used but if he says it works....it works! There seems to be an endless way to achieve the same or similar results and variations of by layering colors...

I use everything from gold leafing to duct tape that you buy from a "dollar store". Check out holographic tapes. I use these for eyes at times also. You can get imitation copper, siver, gold leafing or whatever from a craft store. Real gold leafing is ok and is a conversation piece but I won't  do it again. I had some left over for a wood consignment job. Had to do it at least once. :rolleyes:
