I’ve used many paint removal techniques. Sanding. Peeling it (epoxy topcoated) with a thin sharp knife. Torching it off (very quick if the bait finish is nonflammable but disastrous if it is). Soaking in remover. What works best depends on the kind of bait you’re stripping, its surface shapes, and the type of finish it has. Professional refinishing shops use soda blasting. It’s the best. Many of us don’t strip at all, just scuff the topcoat up and refinish. That works fine on many baits, wth the exception of suspending models.

If you haven't sealed, I would just wash it off and start over.

Wow! What orange did you use? It's perfect!

I heard that KBS in a spray can is flat or matte finish. You might just be able to spray a light coat over your dipped KBS lures. I'm going to try this when I get around to buying some.

Once, I tested bluegills by putting scent on a small piece of paper towel. Tried Kicknbass, Berkley power bait, and I don’t remember how many others anymore. The fish swallowed the berkley one and spit out all the others. But, Berkley is waterbased so it does not really help us out much. According to the Berkley Chemist's book on bass, fish can’t taste oil based scents, they need to be water soluble. I think the oil based scents might help keep bad scents off lures more than anything else.

We have 7mph current in some areas that require it.

Man those look nice. Great job.

Gave it another go. Not putting as much pressure on the injector seems to be the trick for this mold. Decided to do the color that Mr. Mark mentioned and I must say. I like!
