barry batchelor Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 What are your guy's thoughts on appling just a tiny touch of color to the devon top coat. Not to be used as a primary color Just a faint hue over the existing pattern. Kind if an irredecent effect. Will the Devcon hold color? If it does hold color will it wash off at the lake. Would apple barrel work for this. I was even thinking of adding a half drop of lurecraft worm coloring. Let me know what you guys think about this.

nova Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I don't make hardbaits any more but I was thinking of this the other day. If you use the pearl powders or hightlite powders it should have a neat effect. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basserachi Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I've used a few drops of black blade dip made by Lake Hawk in a few of my Devcon topcoats over clear baits to give them a smoke-like effect...It did not seem to effect the integrity of the Devcon...However, all of those experimentals have been lost or repainted since...I was thinking about using the same thing in red for a faint candyapple effect...

nova Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 The red highlite should do that for as it has sort of a metallic hue to it and if you add a touch of red paint to it it may be even better. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I add Hilights and pearn as well as liquid plastic coloring to my devcon all the time. Use it on hardbaits and wirebaits and never have had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I've seen wounded lures with blood dripping on the lure and I believe that's how they did it. I'm gunna try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 You can mix paints into Devcon. It will not run. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
