19D10 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have seen videos online of people with very small stencils with there name on it..they airbrush it on the back of the lure before the clear coat. Does anyone know where I can have a set made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohawkman Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Would you be better off having a rubber stamp made? They're pretty cheap, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19D10 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Wouldn't they smear with clear coat of epoxy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhahn427 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Don't know Where you can get one made but it shouldn't be too hard to make it yourself .......... That or contact the people that make the lure with the stenciled signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSpolarich Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I would think you could do it with a very tiny bit on a dremel. If your eyes are like mine you may need a magnifying glass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzee Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 try a sign shop. They cut vinyl and masking. could probably cut a stencil for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 or even a trophy shop. They use those laser engravers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybait Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I haven't done it myself but I think what they were doing is printing out thier signature very small on water slide decal paper then cutting them out and sticking them onto the lure.

DingerBaits Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Check into Pad Printing Machines. A lot of big name suppliers will use those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Pad printing is the way to go if you need to do a lot of it. Its the high volume way to go. A stencil and an airbrush might be ok if you are doing a limited quantity and can make your own stencils or buy a lot of them. The stencil needs to be cleanable. I don't think I'd go the rubber stamp route. It doesn't do all that great of a job on the backs of my checks. I sure would not want it to be my signature on a semi custom bait. Water slides work well, and there are some decent laser printable water slide decal papers available so you do not need to use a fixative. Not all laser printers do a nice job on them though. My semi industrial Ricoh creates after image printing and its pretty messy. My Brother all in one does really nice laser water slide decals. If you do not have a laser printer you can use inkjet, but remember to get inkjet decal paper and use a fixative before wetting. Water slides are probably the highest cost per signature, but the lowest setup cost if you already have a suitable printer.
