Simple Green........... soak over night and your air brush will look like new. or are u looking for a container?

For basic bass colors make sure you get blue and black in both colorants and glitters. You'll also want watermelon and green pumpkin as colorants. Base colors like red, yellow, blue, white and black along with a color wheel would work also. Get 2 or 4 oz in the colorants and glitters, no sense spending a bunch on pints or quarts yet since you don't know for sure if he will enjoy this hobby or not. If he fishes for panfish, (bluegill, crappie etc,) look at panfish baits at someplace like Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's to determine the most popular colors of colorant and glitter. Canga and Buckeye both have good lists.

Did you ask Josh at Angling AI?

I've seen a clear glitter called "Snow Flakes", but don't remember where it is from. Do a search here on TU.

I agree. That looks like a flow regulator. You will not get the results you want with that. Here is a link to a combo locking pressure regulator / moisture trap. I have one like this. When you lower the pressure, it shows the new pressure on the guage. It only allows that amount of pressure into your air brush. A flow regulator reduces the amount of air by effectively constricting the hose. While air is flowing, the pressure will be reduced. But when flow stops, the pressure will increase to full pressure. It is sort of like crimping a garden hose . While you are spraying water, flow is reduced. Stop spraying, and the hose swells to full pressure. https://www.amazon.com/Paasche-R-75-Regulator-Moisture-Trap/dp/B000BR2STI/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1544476266&sr=8-18&keywords=air+pressure+regulator

I think the reason spreading it thin works is that it reduces the temp. The heat from curing epoxy dissipates more readily - slowing the curing process. It is the reverse of what honeybees do to survive the winter. They cluster in a sphere - reducing the surface area of the hive- to preserve body heat. Placing epoxy in a shallow tray in an ice bath would incorporate both suggestions. Doing this instead of using DNA has the advantage of not thinning it. Plus once the temp reaches normal, it would set more quickly.

Here is a list of crankbait blank suppliers gleaned from the previous thread with the same title. The list is in alphabetical order. The last thread got a bit out of control and way, way off topic, so I have deleted it and created this new one. This thread will be pinned and locked, so forum members will not be able to comment. If you own, or if you find a good supplier that's missing from the list, please PM me and ask me to add it.
