just came up with a new "Toothpaste" color, I think it will work well but still have to test it on the water. 3/4 cup of white pearl, 1/4 cup of clear plastic, small glitter: blue, chartreuse, and silver. Comes out like a flashy turquoise aquafresh toothpaste color. Looks amazing but like I said...we'll see. It may be more of a saltwater color for Striped bass etc.

Most likely dust that has fallen on the bait during painting and is stuck to the bait. I wipe my baits real quick with a blue shop towel before I coat, takes oil and dust off. Then a tip I was told that has worked fantastically for me is to get a light coating on the entire bait with the brush, then hit it with the hair dryer and let the hot air and wind blow the epoxy all around the bait. Then work the excess from the nose to the tail (do this in a box or something, epoxy will fly everywhere) and hang to dry. You'll be left with a nice thin smooth finish with no bubbles.

I have been doing the same thing recently, using pretty much the same grinder you linked. I bought mine years ago from a big box store. I was cutting it into small pieces with scissors before, but this is so much easier. There is very little clean up other than to remove the front and get anything out that is pressed against the face.
