  1. Interesting, if you know where mass centre is. I have done search and decided to present information for your judgment. At the light of this day, various materials are used to build a hardbait – foam, wood, casting resin, plastic, and silicon and so on… So, everyone knows what solid body (hardbait) has a geometrical centre and a mass centre. These two centers are different and mean different things. The geometrical centre (here and after – GC) means the centre of hardbait without any hardware (meaning only naked blank) and the position of geometrical centre is shown as ‘cross’ sign in pictures. The centre of mass (here and after – MC) means the mass centre of hardbait with hardware and indication is shown as ‘crossed circle’. I guess, the conclusion is – if these two magical centers are known, hence the prediction of behavior of hard bait could be done keeping in mind distance and location of GC and MC to each other… If someone has experienced or dealt with these centers, would be nice to know your know-how. Best, Ed

  2. Another interesting point of view to the architecture of hardbait. Russians are crazy builders of hardbaits as well. Here two photos… The first one is x-ray of from top to bottom - CWC Buster, Salmo Slider and Rapala Glidin' Rap. The second photo - same Salmo Slider but surgical intervention. Best, Ed

  3. Many German lure builders use epoxy sold by this company , ......you can obtain a choice of different resins and hardeners to achieve different curing times .

    Since I do not have a rotator , I go for the fastest hardener , it sets within about half-an-hour , ....I'd only have to flip over the lures in my drying rack a few times , ........people using rotators go for slower curing stuff , as it most likely provides more even and thicker coats .

    Finnish builders use a kind of concrete laquer for covering concrete floors and walls , ......but I do not have detailed info about sources nor brands .

    good luck , diemai :yay:

    Hi, Diemai... Vielen Dank. Das ist wirklich gutes Stück von Informationen... As well as thanks Google translator :worship:

    Regarding clearcoat. For the time being I am dealing theoretically with the following applicants to be my clearcoat in the nearest feature.

    The first one is – so, I found that our ladies use Jeweler's grade, self doming, crystal clear ICE Resin. http://www.iceresin.com Has anyone experience coating hardbait with ICE Resin stuff? If so, what was the result especially in the connection with the acrylic water based paint?

    The next one - I have done search and found the following available in my motherland: <BR style="mso-special-character: line-break">

    http://www.reichhold.com/en/composites-product-detail.aspx?pid=1078&list=all<BR style="mso-special-character: line-break">Has anyone dealt with Polylite 32032-20 clear coating hardbait? If so, what was your result? Before to spent money, does anyone have experience how this Polylite 32032-20 is shaking hands with acrylic water based paint? Here is fragment from description of Polylite 32032-20 ‘…Castings made with POLYLITE® 32032-00 have the same refractive index as glass. Suggested applications include decorative castings, tabletops, objects d'art, and biological encapsulations…’

    </SPAN>Sharing of your experience is valuable source of information. Thanks, Ed

  4. I turn lures on a lathe using eastern red cedar. I then dip in a white paint and let dry for a couple days. After air brushing, I use pactra paints and some spray cans from Wally world. The best clearcoat I have used (and I have tried many!) is E-tex. You do need to brush it on with a small bristle brush and after coating I put the lures in a drying box I made that rotates. I usually take my heat gun and blow warm air on them for a few minutes. Hope this helps!Pop R Bl MF.jpg

    People, here and there, you are helping a lot. I am hungry and swollowing every piece of infromation... Thx

  5. I love to understand how to balance a hardbait... How many piece of weight do you mount into hardbait and what is the most important considerations to keep in mind placing weight ? Again, just my thought – to use only one at the lowest point of blank? ...What about to consider mass centre of hardbait? I have heard that placement around the mass centre gives nice action – like shaking than moving or like shaking than sinking... Thank you in advance. Ed

  6. Hello everyone. TU Society, I am calling you because I need help regarding choosing a wood for the aim to built a glider to obtain sinusoid sine curve action – left, right, left, right like in army. So... Have you preferences regarding wood sort? Just my thought – does wood density affects a hardbait – glaider – action? If affects, in what way – denser wood does hardbait slower; lighter wood does wider side moves? Thanks, Ed

  7. Anyone found a good reliable variable speed motor for a lure dryer? I need to built another dryer and was hoping to not have to pay over a $100 like I did for the last one.

    thx.

    Hi. As well, I am on the way to build a dryer for my toys. For time being, my plan is to start this mega building project using a microwave oven step motor. This motor is cheap, has huge power, compact and silent as grass.

    Just one thing to keep on mind – rpm. They are not so speedy Gonzales, around 2 – 6 rpm if I am right, but they do business.

    So, what is your preferences regarding rpm?

  8. Thank you for your input. The reason why I am talking about water based paint and/or clear coat because of my work space which one situated in my flat. This means that I should keep ambient air as clean as possible. On other hand, more I am searching info about water based clear coat, more I am leaning to solvent based clear coat... in my thoughts… I fully agree that layer and coats should repel water and moister.

    Most of the finishes we use here in the U.S. are really designed for coating bars (Envirotex Lite epoxy, for example), wood floors (moisture cured urethanes), or as glues (Devcon Two Ton, other epoxies). If your choice is waterproof and durable, you're using the same criteria as we do. Where durability is important, I have a strong preference for solvent based products because water based products are more vulnerable to water absorption, and when they absorb water, they become much less durable.

  9. Hello everybody. I am new here. Shortly about fishing – my target is northern pike, my fishing method is jerkbait, and my fishing policy is catch and release. I have been reading a lot to find useful info on how to build a jerkbait/glider. For the time being, this forum is one of the best as such. And here is my challenge. In my country (I am from Lithuania) is no chance to find proper clear coat for hard bait. You are really happy people due to enormous options to choose from. So, my idea is either to use acrylic lacquer that is used for yacht or for parquet. Please, your comments on this are more than appreciated :worship:
