champlainbaits Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Thanks for all the kind words. I came up with this process as a way of making original custom lures but without having to spend all the time painting every detail by hand. It's kind of a mix between hand painted and photo finish. I use clear nail polish now to protect it but am trying out the epoxy approuch base on jigflippers recommedation. I'm worried that it'll be too heavy but I'm still trying to work it out.
