Tres Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Is there any way to get the sanding marks of the bill of a lure blank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Coat the bills with your clear finish. KBS or Epoxy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowFISH Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I don't like to coat the bills... so... it's time consuming but i wet sand them down with a really fine grit (1000-2000 - higher the better) then use a plastic polish (Novis) to polish them up nice and clear by hand. I then mask them when coating the rest of the lure. I wouldn't do this for production as it's time consuming... I usually watch football in my basement as I polish the lips.... but for the 10-20 blanks I paint each year it works well and keeps me from having to dip the lips - increasing their thickness. J.
