Husky Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I've gotten a few requests so here's a copy of what was lost in the crash: The following Tutorial is for those of us who want to create very realist finishes with a minimum of hassle. This is not to say it is the only or best way to achieve that goal, but I found it to be a very viable alternative to decals, and much less costly. Truth be told, I also find it easier to do. In addition, the supplies are more readily available. With very little practice, anyone can get wonderful results. I developed this technique after realizing that it is not practical to print on foil. Doing so, is a tribute to Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernel Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thanks for the re-post Husky. As long as my computer doesn't crash, I'll have it for future reference. Thanks, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thnaks again too! I forgot that spray adhesive was used. I have been using a 5 min epoxy to put the foil on the body. Too thick at messy. I will try the spray next. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charkins Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thanks for a repost of the tutorial. I am just starting to make wooden baits. I wonder if a tutorial section could be set up to place this in? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatjohnkid Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Can this technique be done on the plastic bodies that many of the sites sell? I've just started getting into tackle making and I'm a computer whiz. So taking photos or creating my own graphics in Photoshop is what I do daily.

You just have to size the images to fit the bodies, which for you, should be a cinch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, I'll have to look into that. I haven't had to much luck catching fish on crankbaits yet, but I just got back into fishing alittle over a month ago.

bssmstr Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 "While you’re waiting for the glue to dry, seal your plug if you haven’t already done that. I use the Plasticoat process shown in Tally’s Tutorial. http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/kb.php?mode=article&k=20 " This link will not work for me. Could you reprint the tutorial or send it to me in a PM? Thanks, bssmstr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
