I should ask...what are you re-dipping your plastic swim baits in after you use the water based Createx? I used the SB clear from Lureworks which is really good, but wondering if there is another option available that isn’t solvent based that is equally as good. Thanks

So you primarily use the water base paint then reseal by dipping in a clear. I struggle with this too because sometimes I just paint a back of a bait and then I dip the whole thing. I’ve tried spraying a clear but have had little luck. I think I need to add more retarder to keep it from spider webbing on me. Thanks!!

Looking for ways to reduce/eliminate wasting so much SB paint. Transferring paint from the small 4oz cans to the airbrush reservoir is messy at times. Quart can to anything is definitely an adventure. Do any of you use the smaller plastic squeeze type bottles for the SB paint and does it last once transferred? I tried it in one color and the bottle collapsed for some reason. Any tips are appreciated...paint is expensive for the little bit you get!

Thanks for the info! This definitely gives me some avenues to pursue!

As the title suggests, I am a newbie at this. With that said, I just have a couple basic questions about airbrushing soft plastic baits. I know there are a few custom painters out there that are focused on painting for the public, but I am only focused on painting for myself. I have purchased a Master Airbrush kit to start with and here are some of my questions. 1. What kind of paint would be the best? I know the water based paints would require to be re-dipped to protect the colors, is there another paint that makes the process easier? 2. Where is the best place to buy these paints? 3. Respirator...? 4. What to make stands out of for painting? ( Thin paneling and Brad nails?) Any information or links to previous posts that you can provide would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance!
