  1. Here's a link to what i use in my paints,plastics,topcoats etc. Never had a problem with using and the basic colors can be bought at hobby lobby if you want to check them out
  2. I'm no expert but i would say that the profile of the nose turns up to much and taper on each end could'nt hurt
  3. No problem any info is good info got mine from lowes in the outside trim board section if i remember right all it said on display was Rot Proof Trim
  4. Thanks CA krylon is what i've been using So i quess it's off to the man cave to paint that bad boy
  5. are you guys sealing the pvc with anything before priming or just priming then painting I've got a 7.5 swimbait ready to finish and need the info. This stuff is great for making swimbaits. A little harder to carve than the popular I was using but so far far I don't think I'll be going back to wood
  6. anyone have any ideas about what i could use to paint some clear tails for Spro's BBZ 8.5" Swimbait they are soft plastic but not plastisol.

    7" Shad Swimbait

    Been lurking for a while decided to try one of these TT type baits .It swims great with about a 1' per second fall. Gonna make a floater next
  8. I use my drill press turn spin mine but always keep a spare handy incase!!!!!
  9. i buy mine at wal mart it's in the wedding veil material section not the large mesh in the other areas
  10. same thing happened to me i emailed them and complained they sent me a new one
  11. i use waterbased kilz all the time cover good ,drys fast, sand easy no complaints from me
  12. i personally don't like etex because my lure turner spins to slow etex puddles on the bait for me i like devcon and use it exclusively and as far as which is best who knows and who cares if you like what your using stick with it cause everybody has a opinion about what best and we all know the old saying about opinions
  13. Tbait this press makes a coffin bil about the size you said and i'm using a 1ton press and i wish it was bigger arm hurts after about 50 or so
  14. here is my version of that bait I like a clear bill but do make some with pc board and they will catch fish like crazy! http://photobucket.com/albums/d200/M-Baits/?action=view&current=MVC-185F.jpg
  15. i use a dremmel tool with a wire brush it's quick and makes nice line where the brush goes to. check out the third from the left http://photobucket.com/albums/d200/M-Baits/?action=view&current=MVC-184F.jpg
  16. I know some of guys have been making baits longer than i have but i never have any screw ups just new ways of doing things
  17. baitmaker2 thanks for the info i will have to try and find some of that what's the actual name of it
  18. it's my experience that all pearls & metallics have to be thinned and mixed properly in order to spray in my vl i use #1 at 40psi. most of the time unless I'm going for real tight spray patterns then some times i take the nose cap off for a really fine pattern. A jig saw with a large enough spring clamp to hold the bottle work great as a mixer.
  19. thanks for the heads up on the elmers never even thought about water getting in i was dipping in melted plastic spoons&thinner but having a air bubble problem.What kind of sanding sealer? do i need to use
  20. OK guys while working on the last batch of baits i stumbled upon what i think will the best sealer for balsa simply apply two coats of Elmer's wood glue letting dry and sanding between coats it really stiffens up the balsa and give you a great surface to apply base coat as long as you use a flat white from a spray can as i do (flat white Krylon fast dry enamel)
  21. I bought 8 lohr's 4 ll20 & 4 ll10s off ebay some sya wood lure on pack some don't i broke one screw eye on a ll20 and when i repaired seems this bait was foam don't know about the others i've caught fish on both sizes but these are some the hardest lures to tune right i've ever owned but once you fine the sweet spot they seem to stay tuned (so far) I like the shape of the body the ll20 was the inspiration behind the 20ftrs i post link to earlier but mine are balsa and a little heavier.
  22. All i know which isn't much is they showed me one machine that used wire to cut i think they used it to cutout the punch part as for the other i don't know
  23. LL thought about the pins i may go back and see about that after christmas and i need a couple more bil shape now anyway
  24. i have some thinner pc board coming i was going to get a 1 ton but the toolshed at the local flea market were out so i just got the 1/2ton
