Jonister , hopefully hazmail pete will drop by and give you better info on this style. For sure a lot of that style lure have no additional ballast and some do . They tend to have heavy duty hardware and hooks which act as ballast, also they are often made with slightly harder and more dense timber ....

Seems a good choice j , if you add pearl white you can tint it with transparent colours ,or paint pearl over base white then use transparent colours over top for different effect. Fluorescent colours are also transparent and need to go over white to be effective, so you will go through a lot of white......

J, it's well worth learning to mix your own colours, like bob p says , black and white essential. I would also add transparent black . With red,blue and yellow you can make any colour, if you add pearl white,gold and silver and a few fluorescents you will have tons of options. If you go down this route then you will use a lot more yellow than red or blue. Personally I use lots of transparents. ..glider

Seemingly many of the Aussie style lures are designed for trolling very deep in snaggy water . Murray cod seem to like lures with a big strong thumping action . As jd says ,they are also designed to back up and away from snags when tension released. The shape lends itself to these requirements, it has to be very deep diving yet very bohyant. The big bib and broad shape can also make the lure wobble when rising . The Aussies make some fantastic looking lures with superb painting and finishing.....glider

J, If you paint silver,gold or whatever nearest colour to foil - under the e-tex , the bits you miss wont be obvious . John, I lay the foil on lure then rub fairly lightly on foil with a cloth to evenly stick to lure. I intend to revisit this at some point to improve the process....glider

I've never applied e-tex to lead j , imagine you would need to scuff or score for e.tex to key ? good luck...

Hi j, rip the backing off straight away, This gives time to re do any bits you miss....glider

Woody, what sort of receptacle do you use to keep tip in thinners without thinners evaporating ? Cheers....glider

Combination belt /disc sander very useful for me sfrye, A lot depends on which style and size of lures your hoping to make in numbers consistently , and also type of timber. Like bob says, if you're lure design allows it , a table mounted router can give consistent curved radius on edges. I regularly use this method on big flat sided lures, I use freehand with no template or whatever - I hold the blank in my hand , but there are methods of doing it more safely - Doing it this way is faster , but especially with smaller lures is dangerous .....

Thanks jonister, was just curious as to hardness and durability - seems to be fairly similar. .

Similar to wayne, I use a dowel with spike ..

Ddl, I'm usually doing several big lures at a time , I wouldn't put bin near my airbrush ! I use an auto type spray gun .
-
Ddl, nozzle on mine is 1.4 mm, I do thin it with de-natured alcohol. Unfortunately I dont measure ratio , just judge viscosity, probably 5 part primer to 1 alcohol. Its still fairly thick ,slightly thinner than single cream ! Basically as thick as you can shoot an even coat with. You don't need an expensive gun either ddl, mine was as cheap as, and not a single problem....glider

Did he offer to replace or refund Ron ?

Suspect you guy's are probably right, over here there's a tendancy to bite the bullet and just move on to another shop. Personally I'm straight on the case ,no qualms.....

Curt, while your here, is there any way to delete previous attachments,? With attachments full , I think there's guy's maybe not posting good ideas due to inability to illustrate ideas with odd picture. Understand if not possible......glider
