Do you think you can only use Balsa on those machines or are they able to handle something harder like basswood and cedar?

Someone muster the courage to give em a call!

Holy Cow 21...that is a sweet machine lol. I should think of something like that. thanks for the share

at .35 there is a wood carving machine used, anyone know what kind it is?

Yellow cedar huh? I've got to go check on my local hobby store to see if they have any. I've been debating to make a swimbait for kings but just didn't want to invest the time into it only to have one tear it to shreds... Do you think extra coats of etex will help?

Do you think a wooden lure can last in saltwater applications for species such as kings? I'm going to attempt some saltwater swimbaits, but just don't know about the feasibility of it. What do you think?

Sigh... Well back to the old drawing board. I'll probably buy new plastic primer and sand it then. Also will leave the washing with detergent out. I'll see what happens after that point. Thanks guys for the feedback.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my airbrush paint pealing and am thinking it's a primer issue but not entirely sure. I'm using creatix airbrush paints and am thinning it out. I've sealed a swimbait by using the plastic melted cup method listed here. But i'm going to list what I've done step by step. Try #1 1. Sealed wood by dipping into plastic/laquer thinner 4 times. 2. Cleaned the lure with dish detergent to rid it of oils, rinsed and then dried. 3. applied Rustoleum primer (grey) let dry. 4. applied first coat of paint 5. applied remaining colors - But after doing that and allowing to dry, a drop of water got on it and then the paint peeled. Sighed... Then removed the primer with lacquer thinner. - redipped the lure into the dip and let dry. Try #2 1. Cleaned the lure with dish detergent. 2. used 220 grit sandpaper to mar up the surface. 3. Quick rinse of lure. 4. applied first coat of paint 5. applied remaining coats of paint Now i haven't tried wetting it because I didn't want to ruin it. But I tried applying a sticker eye on but put it on the wrong spot, so i slowly peeled it off and lo...it started peeling again. i haven't taken off all the paint, but only a small area is missing where i misplaced the eye. What am I doing wrong here? Is the airbrush paint supposed to be like this?
