Re: Plastic Lure eyes compatible with acetone?
Nothing plastic is compatible with acetone, including the adhesive on the 3D eyes. If you're dipping it may not have too much effect since acetone evaporates quickly and you aren't wiping it across the eye. But it will cloud a plastic or polycarbonate lip. Have you considered painting the eyes? They may not "pop" like 3D eyes but can look good if neatly done. There's alot of back and forth about how predator fish regard eyes, their size and position but I haven't noticed any advantage of one over the other in terms of getting bites. I always fit 3D eyes into a shallow socket so they'll stay put under normal use and because I don't like the "pop eye" look of just sticking them on the side of the head.
As far as size, I keep a selection and choose the size and color based on the particular bait. 5 and 7 mm would be appropriate for smal/med and larger bass baits.
