  1. i put a coat on 4 cranks and they came out fine, did a second batch and the 2 i put the Etex on are still tacky. couple questions....

    1) will a second coat affect the baits movement?

    2) is it safe to add a coat on top of the coat that is tacky?

    i have read of people doing 2 coats, but i know that most of those people were using them on gliders so the action really wouldnt be messed up that much. these cranks are 1.5 KO if it helps.

  2. i have been having issues with my airbrush. long story short is basically wants to do the splatter effect ALL THE TIME. i have tried thinning the paint more, leaving it thick, turning the preassure on the compressor up, turning it down. i have a water seperator in line right at the compressor....that never has any water in it... one thing i have noticed is at the tip of the airbrush. my tip is a 2 part tip...little part that the needle pokes out of then a bigger part that holds the brass tip inside. right now im using a 5 tip and needle as i believe while i was cleaning i threw away my 3.anyway the tip. where i tighten the big tip to the brush i have been getting watery bubbles i cant tighten it down any more. after work im going to try to get some teflon tape on there and hope it doesnt get in the way of the paint. just not sure what to do at this point. i have done several good cleanings, looked inside and there are no blockages. any ideas?

  3. be more specific. one piece, two piece mold. did you use salt? did you let it set up long enough before demolding. let it cure atleast 24hrs befor putting in the bag? you rig it straight? post a vid so we can see and better help you.

  4. i was on ebay and found some ads that has silver crankbait blanks...they looked pretty chrome to me. i was wondering if anyone knows of the wesite that sells them. the ads were only for 2 and for styles i didnt want. im still loking and will post if i can find it.

  5. go to bearsbaits.com and check out the colorants and look at lite melon. i'm pretty sure that's all i put in that one. if i added anything else it would have been a drop of rootbeer. but i think with the salt and flake the light melon is all i used.
