LimpNoodle Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think I'm starting to get the hang of pouring and painting slabs! If you see white and chartreuse in the same compartment it's because those are white on one side and chartreuse on the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterhawk Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Are those poured with lead? Those look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yep. Lead bodies. Powder paint as the base. Then the rest with an airbrush. Dip them in concrete sealer and you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkman Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Very nice bro, what kind of paint are you using for your air brush? Dude good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkman Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have two of those molds, only one I don't have is the skinnier flutter spoon....this make me want to pour spoons man, love your work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkman Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Concrete sealer? What brand? I've read guys using it on wood lures but never lead...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I use Createx Wicked Color paint. The skinny slab is the Do-It Minnow mold. I use Seal-Krete Clear Gloss sealer. Home Depot or Lowe's carry it here. I'd like to try AC-1315 sealer but at almost $50 a gallon delivered I'll pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLT Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Very nice work. What all weights are they? Never used that concrete sealer. May have to check into that. Any smell from it? I use Minwax Polycrylic and paint on my jigs and threads when I tie. It is a satin finish, but may want to try that gloss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 3/4, 1, 1.5 ounce. No smell at all to that sealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Thanks for the info. Was looking into UV coating couple years back because I can get it for free where I work, but the kind we use has a horrible smell to it that I don't think the fish would like lol. Use it for coating magazine/catalog covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I really like this style of bait. Can't wait to get these on the water. Not sure which eye I like best. Over 150 baits in this box. Over 10 lbs. I call it the Dream Box because I know lots of guys who dream of getting their hands on this box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I like that mold also. Was looking at it online. Not sure what the sales side of it would be where I sell at De. beaches. If I had to pick between those eyes, I like the red the best. Myself, I like the plain flat holographic eyes. Give off more sparkle from different angles IMO, but yours look better. Very nice work.

LimpNoodle Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 The flat eyes are a LOT easier to apply too. I have to super glue these eyes on. Takes quite a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EironBreaker Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Why the super glue on the eyes? I use the 3D eyes and they have adhesive backing that holds fine until they are sealed with overcoat. Wouldn't your clearcoat lock them in place? Nice job on the lures though! And thanks for the tip on the seal-krete, I'll give it a try on jigs and see how it works out.

LimpNoodle Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I get the 3D eyes from China. They have some adhesive but it doesn't hold very well on the super slick finish the powder paint gives. I learned the hard way to glue them on. The saving grace is that they are not that much more than flat eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
