The beauty in breaking one is having the skill and knowledge to repair it.

Yes, and if I know The_Rook, it was probably about a 400 yard cast that would have left a crater had it landed on soil instead of a rock!

Bullet proof polycarbonate that is used is 1 1/2 thick. However, they make it thinner. Not that it will stop a bullet, but it is almost pure polycarbonate. It definitely won't break.

I have tried ABS, PVC, and Acrylic Plexi-glass, but am now using lexan because everything else breaks to easy.

we use .250 polycarb as vat covers and have it break quite frequently. It is my opinion that it is just like Taters ego... abuse it enough and it will break

Tater,
It was pure intent to inject some humor. Those who know me understand that I enjoy poking good clean fun at all. A good chuckle now and again really helps relieving the stresses we encounter during our lure building.

Cool man.. It was funny.. No harm done..I can take it.... I do have a ego that needs to be smacked around to level me out from time to time.. I never lacked much confidence to try something different in life. Remember I sold insurance before I did this!!!! You have to have thick skin in that business too!!! However, I dont want come across as a guy with a big ego..

(TATER's CELL PHONE RINGING IN THE BACKGROUND)... Hold on... Im getting a phone call from the President.. brb..."NO GEORGE!!, NO ITS NOT DONE YET!!! I know you been waiting for 8 months now!!.. I will tell Tater to hurry up!!!! Dont worry you will get a hotter lookin Hoochiemomma than Coach Knight did!!!" RELAX BABY!!! Tater will take care of you!!!"

ok ok where was I... oh yeah...I like to say Im very passionate about my work and I really care what others think about it.. I hope everyone else feels the same way about their work too!

All of us should have a great sense of pride in what we are doing. Even if nobody else likes it or if they are willing to give you 200 bucks for it!..

I used to sell life assurance too. That'll thicken up anyones skin. Commission only, you literally don't know where the next car payment is coming from. I now sell sand to the Arabs, much easier.
