I like Dick Nites better than KBS. I just finished a quart of KBS, it's good, don't get me wrong, but DN is better. DN gets harder and has a slicker feel once hardened, and seems to go on a little thinner than KBS. I also like the fact that DN penetrates into the paint and forms a monolithic( in the sense that it becomes unified with the paint) finish.

An exacto knife works for me. Punch the tip of the blade through the epoxy and scrape it out of the hanger.

Yeah, it was an advertisement basically. There was another one on a different thread but that one was removed as well.
-
Looks like they removed the post before mine, anyways just being sarcastic. Sorry
-
Seems legit...

Agreed, great channel. Lots of good info to be had on YouTube.

Yep, VMC is good, I also use Mustad.

That's a slick looking bait, nicely done especially after a 9 year layoff. -
That is a very nice walleye pattern. The drier sheet effect is very cool as well.
-
I'll take a shot at this, I can't quite tell if that bait has a pearl white base or if it is clear (unpainted), but then I'd say it has a holographic scale sticker giving it the scale pattern. A little green on the cheek, and black kill dot on the shoulder. That's just my opinion on it, a larger picture would help though.

I recently decided to try KBS for the first time after primarily using Dick Nites, I dip mostly but have brushed a few jointed baits that I've done. I have to say I'm not overly impressed with the KBS. I think DN gets harder and over all is a slicker finish. I understand that the major draw to KBS is that it's easier to store but using bloxygen and sealing my dipping jars I would lose very little DN, thanks to the tips I gathered here from guys like Bob P amongst others. To me the superior finish of DN outweighs the loss of DN.

This reminds me of the old school Rapala foiled lures only better executed in it's details. Very nice work. -
We've had snow in May before, an April blizzard is par for the course in Wisconsin.

First holographic bait. Sorry for the poor photo. -
Crawfish pattern -
Thanks for the reply, I've done some reading of old threads but those mostly involved application and storage of KBS.
-
Not to high jack the thread but, can you find KBS at any of the home improvement stores or do you order it online? I'm a Dick Nites guy but am interested in maybe trying KBS out.
-
That paint is sick. Super creative, awesome execution. -
I bought a bunch a few months ago. I hope they offer size 7's soon.

When prepping a bait that has a good coat of paint I scuff the finish with a Scotch Brite pad until it is uniformly dull, if the paint is damaged then I'll take sandpaper, usually 180 grit or 220, and remove the finish completely. It can be tedious work but good prep leads to a good finish
