MrStitch Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hi guys, new to forum here. Was thinking about getting into soft plastics, and had a question.... Is there a way to paint the soft plastic, AFTER it's been baked? Or must this be done strictly before the heating process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrStitch Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 And this will stick to plastisol well, without flaking off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 yes, if you look at my gallery, there are a few pics of frogs I've done with it. lemme rephrase that - when I first bought it, i went and painted some frogs, the little one's in the gallery, and couldn't rub that stuff off for the life of me. That was late summer last year, maybe as late as early fall. Painted some more late winter (when it actually gets cold here), ad had different results, so I got some more, same deal. I paint outside, and have not tried it in the warmer weather, so it might need to be warm before it bonds properly. I have no way to test this without a heated environment to paint in, so if you find different, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStitch Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Thanks guys... those baits look real good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassn1 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I tried painting with Plastikote Fussion, it's supposed to work on plastic...maybe it does but not on "soft plastic". I tried lure dip, I used a fine brush and the baits looked awsome!....for about three days, then the dip bled all over and I was left with a pile of crap. Back to square one and order some paint from LC........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
