I tried the plastic cups in thinner method yesterday and what I had then is what I still have now.Just a big glob of runny plastic in the bottom.I shook the jar over and over for a while.I thought it might change over night but it is still a big pile of goo.Used red solo cups and clear solo cups also.Any advice?

I second that !!!

I am fixing to get an Iwata and I plan on getting the HP C Hi line model.It was between that or the HP C Plus. Both have the .3mm tip and I have been spraying with VL guns with #3 tip/needle. I use createx and auto air most of the time and I was wondering if any of you guys have either of these guns.If so I am just curious about how the .3mm will spray these paints.I see a lot using the eclipse with the .35 but I want to know if I will have problems with the .3 when using paint straight from the bottle?

I have been using the VL guns with #3 for years using createx straight out of the bottle.The pearls are thicker and require a little more psi,but I have never had to go above 40 psi. I clean the needle between every color change and then hold my finger over the tip and spray full pressure with water.It backs up and helps clean.After I am done for the day,I remove the tip and needle and clean both and then clean the gun with a pipe cleaner.Sounds like your tip and/or needle is gummed up.

I can honestly say that is the most realistic paint job I have ever seen.That is just too good.

I always cut with the grain.That is just the way I was taught.Works perfect for me.

I think it might make a better system if it showed how many votes the lure has.That would offer a better idea of the overall voting....I think.But I tend to agree that the comments are what I appreciate.A comment is what got me researching about how to get my balsa baits smooth before painting:yay: .If nobody had told me they needed better prepping,I would have never looked into it for future baits.

Has anyone had any success with a duplicator on a midi lathe
bassmaster1974 replied to spookman's topic in Hard Baits
I was making and selling some of my hand carved balsas earlier this year.Now I have gotten covered up with the custom painting when I am home and I just dont have time to fill orders for baits and paint.I have thought about the lathe process and I am wondering about the price for the lathe and duplicator.And where do you get them? -

I was on the Lake Hawk Pro Staff before the Co. sold out.I always used the blade and plug dip they made to color my hooks.Fast..simple and easy.If the color comes off,just dip again and right back where you were.Im sure the Spike It or other brands work just as well.

I know it HAD to be tempting to keep that fish and get it mounted....but Im sure you did the right thing and let it go...lol.

I really like this color.Great job! -

Does anyone have a Manns 78 or 79 I think
bassmaster1974 replied to MR KNOW IT ALL KIND OF's topic in Hard Baits
Rookie....Im always good for a laugh or two.ALL the bass caught in my boat go back:yes: .My clients are told that about 3 times before they ever get in my boat.Always someone that seems to forget that when the tears start rolling as they put the 7lber back in the water though...lol. I will look for the bait and see if I can find a model number on it.I am almost certain It does not say anything about what kind it is...that is why I never took it out.I will get back with ya. -
I use Createx paints.I use very few colors straight from the bottle.Id say about 90% of the colors I use are a combo of others mixed together.
