    I suggest using a file instead of sand paper. Sanding dust is fine, but filings are large enough to be safer. I would still use gloves and a mask.

    I use flexible silicone 2 cup/1 pint measuring cups used for cooking. I pinch the top with a large paper clip to get a smaller spout to pour fine things. I wear gloves because they get as hot as the plastisol in the microwave while I'm cooking it. The spout eventually will clog, but I can move the clip to the other side of the cup and have a new spout. I don't like glass with hot plastic in it.

    Contact the plastic maker and ask them.

    I don't know of anyone, but I do want to say welcome back to the site. I hope your health has improved, and that you have a great fishing trip.

    How does the amount of microballons affect strength?

    At least until they come up with inserts for bass lures.

    I prime my metal baits with Rustoleum Self Etching Primer. Just be sure it works with your paint finish.

    It looks interesting. i wonder if they'll offer bass jig inserts.

    Does Jacobs still make the mold inserts?

    Happy Birthday Ben "Rayburn Ben" Siegel, wherever you are. You are missed.

    While you're waiting for your blanks, use the time to practice painting on some white PVC plumbing pipe. You can learn to paint curved surfaces, blend colors, and control your air and paint ratios and pressures.

    Is it hard to work with? Is it actually stronger and stretchy?

    Dollar store clear nail polish works for smaller baits.

    I always add a small amount of new plastisol and heat stabilizer. I never have any discoloration from the stabilizer.

    I use a pair of Wiss tin snips.

    That is my experience with BP 262 also. I had half a gallon left when I quit pouring when the Pandemic hit, and is still good. I just poured a bunch of 5" swimbaits and Zoom craws, and all I did was stir/shake it and add heat stabilizer to each new batch. No caking, and very little sludge in the bottom of the gallon jugs. I did shake it every six months, or whenever I remembered.

    That guy really does a great job!

    Thanks. I'll give it a try, and report back.

    For a duller thud, I use 1/4" lead shot balls.

    I couldn't figure out how to add text to the photo once I'd added it, so here's my text. The color of the tail looks, to me, like a very light brown, but I see light purple, too. Any help would be appreciated.

    Try using braid as a main line with a short fluoro leader. No stretch braid really makes for good hooksets.

    Adding a little raw plastisol with your stabilizer when you slowly reheat helps to make sure you heat doesn't burn.
