i to notice the spot on the one but it's just on that side i thought it might be a rattle at first glance but no rattle the other two had the cross way hook eye but they where kind of loose and i tightened them a little. I was just wondering i'm gonna fish with em regardless Thanks for the info

I use createx to paint body and testor's enamel for my eyes but unlike blades if i screw up it's oh sh$$ you have to start over I use different size nail heads mounted in dowels to make the dots you dip nail in paint and try to get a little half drop of paint on nail then touch bait with paint but not the nail if everything works you get a perfect dot if you let nail touch most times it screws up

Durham's coated with Devcon - is it "oil free"?
Lurehead03 replied to Teamdiarrhea's topic in Soft Plastics
I use durham's to make all my molds and i used to coat them with devcon i tried mogpoge (to sticky) and then tried a high heat paint (900 degrees)got it at autozone it's for painting brake drums and calipers I've done about six molds with this stuff and it works great you'll have to let it dry 48hrs. before you use it but it's great for keeping the detail of the peice your trying to copy and no oiling required -
I forget who posted this idea but it works for me what i use is plastic spoons melted in lacuer thinner Dip bait bodies 3 times then put in bills ,hook hanger and weights then coat with a thin coat of devcon 20min,paint and then top coat with e-tex or devcon so far i,ve had no problems. But i use balsa most all the time so weight has not been a issue
