No, I was just foolin' around and came up with it. It's hard to find Powder Tempra paint in fish catching colors. If you could find a fine powdered pigment, it should work OK.

I made my own with pvc pipe glue and Tempra powder paint. Thin it with asetone or MEK and shoot it with the airbrush. Drys real fast and makes a mess out of your airbrush.

b1gf1sh1.. You Found my favorite site, welcome to the madness. I haven't had any time to work on any lures as my shop is filled up with a new project. A 1960 Ford PU. That will take most of the winter to restore it enough to roll it on to the drive and free up some space. I'll get back to the lure biz before ice off, I should be sick of rusty bolts by then.

I use plain silicone, just a thin layer on the bait and stick it down. Works great for sticking small appendeges too.

I agree with Travis, The only thing I do different is use vaselene on all sides of the mold so it slides out easier.

Thanks for the info guys, I'm going to give that a try. Now all I need to do is figure out what kind of an excuse I'm going to use if I get caught in the wife's underware drawer:wink:

Be careful when using water putty or plaster. if there is any moisture in it when you pour the lead, it will explode. Been there, done that and I'm lucky I didn't get burned.
