Maybe this will help out a little... These are ones I have tested and found the fit acceptable.

acid brushes but good brushes can be cleaned with alcohol. My E tex (open container) is 8 years old and still works like normal. The resin will crystalize a little as mentioned above but warm water takes care of that

Haven’t tried it yet but dead on plastix just released there floating plastic it’s in the white bucket.

I'm only making soft plastics.. actually the painting of lures is just a hobby of mine. There's several guys already in the customer lure painting market and that's way to labor intensive for me. As far as my epoxy top coat holding up.. it was devcon 2t. Over time it yellowed and we fish with a lot of white and bone so that's not too great. As for hardness it's very hard but like I said, my subcoats failed so with trout teeth and sharp as trebbles they will eventually chip and crack and havn't lasted too long. Some of the custom paint guys are using Automotive clear and I can tell it's hard enough. But I havn't liked their work so far ... so I figure I'll do my own or for a friend or two, and some muskie baits for the fall as well.

Your options are limited. That is the old style of mold so you will probably be best to dremel out a slot for the hook point to fit in the mold. Either that or bend the wires. You can see how the newer molds have the aluminum removed so the hooks will fit.

Update!! took first can back to summit racing and they gave me a new can with a different lot number with no hassle at all. Got home opened up second can and exactly the same as first. Emailed kbs directly and sent pics of product, lid of can, and baits I had dipped and had a yellowish tint on the white bellies. They replied back and said product was no good!!! Do not use!! They are sending me a new can at no charge. So we will see how new can is. I’ll update when I get new can.

1/8 for sure and I believe 1/16 too.

+1 polycarbonate. You can work it like acrylic/plexiglass, not that is has the same properties, but it is considerably more forgiving.

X2 Kmsnowman, they work like a charm.

I've used Gami. 3/0 114 with good results.
