I use to buy some wood crankbait bodies from stamina but they quit selling them this year so I am on the search again. There use to be a sponsor on this site that was always at the top of the page that sold wood bodies and weight but I can't remember the name. Any suggestions on sponsor or new place to buy the wood bodies. These were a flat sided shad body. I would make them but don't always have time.

How is everyone putting on the Gills on their crankbaits. I see some that seem to perfect for a stencil. I will paint one and be happy and the next is not the greatest.....so what is it stamps for stencils. Thanks in advance for any info.

I have never tried to airbrush plastics but with all the paddle tail tube going on I am going to try this. Any good tips? any don't? Do I need special paint? will the Creatrex paint work? I am not new to airbrushing just new to airbrushing soft plastics.

I have the same brush and have that problem. My Problem was in the aircap body has 6 little holes that would get clogged all the time. I used a very small wire to clean out the holes and resolve my issue. I like my VL until it is time to clean it. I just upgraded because I was tired of taking it apart to clean which was the only way I was happy when changing colors. I hope this helps ...refer to the parts list at http://www.paascheairbrush.com/2005_parts/vl_vls_airbrushes.pdf

I am sorry to hear you ar leaving when I just was reallying getting to find out who the rookie AKA tater hog was. I am jealous of your paint jobs and we be honest that i have saved many pictures you have posted to use as templates for what I will paint. Please come back and visit and share your input even if is is only thru a PM. I will continue to watch the tater on ebay. -
I think Bobp hit it on the head. I use the blue masking tape and don't have any issues.

Does anyone have some balsa body half they want to sell. I am just playing around and want to save some time on making some shallow running balsa baits. I wanted to start with some balsa bodies (2 halfs) that i can make a wire thru balsa bait. Looking to make something like a D-bait but does not have to be exact.

Thinning Devcon: prefer rubbing or denatured alcohol?
JeffG replied to doomdart's topic in Hard Baits
I have had good luch with thinning with isopro alcohol. I was afraid of the denatured because of what is would do to the paint. I was able to smear creartex paint with denatured alcohol during a test. I think the thing you need to watch for when you thin is getting bubbles in your final coat. I am just putting on a protective coat over paited plastice baits so if I brush a thin coat I do not have problems. -

I am wanting to make some jigs like this jig. I would like to get some jigs poured or a mold like this. Any help on either idea would be great. Where to get mold or jigs poured. Thanks http://www.tackleunderground.com/photos/index.php?n=159

Looking to find someone that can pour a jig in this shape -
How do you figure out how much weight to add to a wood bait? and where in bottom of bait do you put it? Example how much would I add if I am wanting to make a flat sided bait like a Dee bait. 2 to 2 1/2" flat sided balsa crank? and where would you add?
