  1. I just switched to ACC from E-tex a few days ago. Not much difference between the two when it comes to mixing and applying. ACC is a little harder and appears clearer than E-tex. It also has UV inhibitors which is a plus and the bubbles seem to come out easier e-tex but I had no problems with E-tex unless I put it on too thick. After applying epoxy with a SILICONE brush, I use a mini butane torch to pop bubbles before putting on the turner. Have to be careful to not burn it with the torch though. The silicone brushes are reusable, easy to clean and do a good job applying epoxy. Any other brush I tried eventually left tiny specks of hardened epoxy on the baits. After putting lures on the turner I wait about 5-10 mins and then using my airbrush I lightly mist the baits with Isopropyl alcohol. It allows the bubbles to pop easily and leaves a nice high gloss finish as it helps with self leveling. I got the idea from the ACC instructions for pouring bartops. They say to lightly mist with a spray bottle of alcohol to help remove bubbles. I figured since I use ISO to clean my airbrush anyway why not try it and it worked great.
  2. Hand carved Bluegill glide bait. Carved from quartered Sycamore wood. The figured grain of the sycamore mimics the scale patterns of a panfish nicely. Bait is about 5.5 inches long and weighs 3.25 oz and has neutral bouyancy. Painted with custom mixed transparent createx paints.
  3. Four color chatterbait made with maribou, rabbit fur, and peacock feathers.
