Manny Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I know the surface has to be super smooth , I use devcon/DA for my seal... I used steel wool to get it real smooth and now the shinyness of the seal is gone.... will it hurt ? ( im pretty sure it penetrated ) How are you guys prepping for foil ?

A lot of people use contact cement. I am not sure how smooth it really matters, other then the imperfections will show through the foil. When I foil I just use a spray adhesive and rub out the foil. I would say contact cement though, seems most use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I just did my first foil bait. It was an old rattle trap that my Daughters and I found Sunday on my Fathers Day gift fishing trip with them. I cleaned out the rust from the line tie and hook attachments, wet sanded it with 400 grit, and then I foiled it. I used Venture Foil, which is self adhesive. It is a dream to use. I think BobP is the one who posted the link, but, whoever it was, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
