thanks off to buy a .5 nozzle kit

So i went to hobby lobby today and there was a iwata hpcs for 52 bucks because a customer said it was not spraying right. So first i thought what the heck ill give it a shot to see if i can fix it or see whats wrong with it for that price why not if worst came to i would return it so. .35mm tip by the way - When i sprayed trans color it sprayed great when it came to pearls it would be really touchy to my drawback for paint then it would just come out way to fast! So my question really is i guess is the .35 tip to small for pearl paints? Whats your thoughts, and i took the AB apart and cleaned it personally and its spotless, the needle is straight everything tight. Help would like to get away with this brush for 50 bucks would definately make my weekend.

im thinking like anglinarcher that there maybe water in your lines if not check the paint

Thanks rayburnguy, the lip already has a slot through contact edge against the bait but i believe i may have to file some of the lip to leave roop for some epoxy to fit in the slot with the lip. Thanks i really appreciate all the help cant wait to post a picture hopefully in the next few days i will be able to.

Xcalibur also makes a small lipless i believe they are the xr25

so this is where im at with my crankbaits im wondering what i should use to glue in the lip on the crankbaits. The material of the lip is the computer material i believe its 1/16 thick and the lip slot fits tight with the bill will this be an issue with the glue? thanks for all the help guys hopefully this will become second nature for me so i can help others as well, jim

i ordered some of the circuit board bills off of lure parts.com today with some eye lags or screws. all i have right now is a drawing made of this crankbait im going to make my dad has all the wood tools i need to get it done so it will all be an experiment when i start. I am just trying to get as much information as possible so when the build starts it can be half way smooth rather than a bunch of breaks trying to accomplish one bait. next ill have to research on sealing the bait or not before paint and how to finish the holes drilled for the eye wires.

thanks for the tip and i think im going to go with the 1/16 since its not going to be a deep diver any ways but i will also look into the g10 thanks guys.

I was wondering if anyone had any input on a lip thickness with lexan on a balsa wood flat sided crank bait, and advice would be good, i saw on site 1/8 inch but to me that seemed pretty thick. thanks jim

Hi Im wondering were i can get a good deal on some balsa wood for some flat sided cranks so im looking at 1/2" x 3" x 48" or so but has to be half inch by 3 inch for sure. I tried looking it up and the best i really came with the shipping and handling cost more than the stick of wood. thanks jim

Hi I just painted my revo sx with some auto air and cleared it with a rattlecan, last time ill do that. The clear is now a couple days old and seems to be soft still i followed exact instructions on the can i just don't think its the quality i was looking for, for durability purposes. Im green at this airbrushing and custom stuff to tackle and reels and was wondering who on here has had great success with a durable clear coat that i can count on. I know i have put enough coats on it to wet sand and if need be ill redo the paint job. any insight would be great and fully appreciated. thanks, jim

wow i guess there is so many things i see all day and never payed attention thanks guys.

thanks again

thanks for that never thought of the orange bags clever thanks
