  1. Peak airbrush are great for the money. I got tire of being raped when I needed Iwata parts and got a couple peaks.
  2. Its gonna be tough on this site. People will go to places that are free. Its human nature to be cheap. Another site I saw do this and it is a shell of its former self. As 'net sites mature and they are sold/purchased they with have to go to a pay for content to cover the cost of buying the site.
  3. Poplar can be used for certain lures but must be really sealed well. The wood itself is not really tolerant of water. I like working with it because it turns nice and I can get it at big box stores.
  4. Oils from your hands can cause epoxy problems as well. Yes there are much better top coats out here. You must search these boards and find the one that works best for you.
  5. They are a great start. Get them to work 1st and the finish work will come to you.
  6. Looking into having a rubber stamp made. I saw a lure maker had one of these made and it was cool.
  7. Every forum I visit goes through the same thing. You can make all the tutorials and stickys but people don't want to READ. They want to be spoon fed.
  8. Take your brushes and put a drop of super glue at the base. Keeps hairs from the epoxy.
  9. This guy is dead on. Do what he says and it should work better.
  10. Use createx clear over your signature.
  11. I thought clear coat worked well on my plugs
  12. It works and on some darker color plugs you may not notice.
  13. 30 turns yellow. I've used it on a bajillion saltwater flies and plugs.Coat a nice white plug and leave it out in the sun a little while. They need to throw some uv inhibitors an that would be a great product.
  14. The only problem I have with Devcon is it turns yellow. I only use it on test plugs now.
  15. I think Ed (StriperCrazy) gave me one of the ones in the pic. I have to post a pic because it came out really nice. Here's one of my plugs that Stripercrazy marbled and I finished it off. Its in the middle of this pic.
  16. You are no looking close enough.
  17. Those damn cans freeze right in the middle of painting.
  18. To make a lure holder/spinner to hold the lures while the finish is drying. By spinning the lures you wont get sags.
  19. They won't be in until grill season starts. Lowes and Home Depot carry them as well.
