  1. where did you get the idea for the hinge design?
  2. I see a little Orso inspiration....post a vid when you get a chance
  3. If you want the carvability of bondo why don't you do a rough carving of wood to float the bait,seal it,prime it,and then add a layer of bondo to your liking. That way you can always add and subtract based on your carving skills. In theory this should work however I believe bondo can dry out and crumble over time if not sealed.
  4. I've got no experience with Badger's, but I always thin back a hair with Dirtex and depending on the detail will bump up my pressure to 35-40psi water based paints are notorious for tip dry
  5. I can see why Snax is on the search for the deepest penetrating sealer since he is hunting Muskies! The more penetration the less likely water will absorb... no question. CPES absorbs so much it CAN play with the natural bouyancy so keep that in mind and run a few test samples. CPES uses solvents as a vehicle to transport "natural resins" and to evaporate any water that is still in the wood...the thin epoxy is mixed in to stop any fungus from continuing to grow. Another product they make that is superior is their Epoxy Filler. Zero shrinkage and it's sandable!
  6. It is a great adhesion promoter! "Hot coating" does work with a second coat,but be leary it is not transparent enough to work over foil and will amber. One note of caution...I've jumped the gun with this product and not let "large" areas not dry long enough even after the 24 hour period which resulted in bubbling.
  7. nice find....there's no question that it saturates ALOT more than the competitors.
  8. It would be interesting to do a sample,cut it in half,and then actually see the penetration. When I do dry rot repair with this product I drill numerous deep holes in and around the rot and then use a big syringe to inject and saturate the wood until it won't take anymore.
  9. great product! I've been using CPES for the last 4 or 5 years on decks/siding and probably the last year on baits. It is made locally here in the bay area by Smith&Co. It's not the cheapest but it is a great product and really saturates. One thing it does not do is level out the grain like devcon. one note of caution....make sure your outdoors when you apply it! it's nasty stuff!
  10. nice bait Mr Hopkins top notch as always....just to add to the post Krylon makes an aerosol called Glowz that works well
  11. please email me at deepsessions@yahoo.com
  12. I'm looking for a few different patterns. email me at deepsessions@yahoo.com with pics/info if you have it. thanks!
  13. any help would be appreciated! I need to make some heavy spinner baits and clatter type baits for a tournament

    8" and 10"

    man you've been busy! nice lookin' baits! I wouldn't say a nod to the punker but maybe the pupfish? let me know if your gonna sell any of 'em
  15. I don't think they make forstner bits that small let us know if you find one! are you using diamond or carbide bits?
  16. I've been marking the entry/exit holes (six total) first. I then take my cordless drill and drill from top and bottom boring slightly to adjust for the center section. If you use a longer bit that reaches all the way through a 2" bait it tends to flex too much the shorter bits don't.
  17. seen this over on the other forum. very nice been looking forward to this. check your email
  18. that baits look mighty tasty! how does it swim when you speed up the cast,jerk it,or burn it? nice bait!
  19. never thought I'd see the day of an igauna wake bait complete with a t-rigged tail! you'd better make a few more of them for your customer that thing is gonna get smashed on!
  20. I get mine here and tie my own skirts and add blades accordingly. You will want to upgrade the swivel if you go to a bigger colorado. http://www.landbigfish.com/tacklestore/showcase.cfm?PID=766
  21. try 8lb power pro (1lb diam) and experiment with a flouro leader. Use a line conditioner on the braid so it comes off the spool easy and use a high end light spool reel. Combined with an 8' crankin' stick and a carolina rig like what's mentioned you can get some major depths! You can file bills down to dive at a sharper angle so the lure stays in the productive zone longer,but prepare to sacrifice a few baits learning how. do you ever try heavy spinnerbaits? I've been throwing 2.5oz blades lately with some success. Another lure that stays in the zone much longer especially with a big colorado. hope this helps.
  22. how far do you insert the weight? before epoxying it?
