Hi , folks
Finally my last two "Banana's" are now done with their "metal flake finish" !
Haven't applied this on wooden lures before , only on casting spoons .
I have found , that it adds quite a bit of weight to the lures , since apart from the metal glitter particles it requires some more top gloss coats as on "normally" painted lures . But not as much to render them to be sinking
!
Had to paint on the eyes of the lures , since decal eyes wouldn't hold onto the rough glitter surface very well .
Sometimes they do , but also the eyes locations on these lures are quite curved , it requires a rather plane surface for them to stick at all
!
Next time I should cut eye sockets and leave them bare of glitter flakes , so I won't have that problem again
!
Quite time-consuming to do and not very detailed , but in fact something different to offer to the fish !
Greetz , Dieter
