color is huge here on l.st clair. after the wobble color dictaes how many and how big.
-
yes Mark happens here with larger plastic injected musky lures constantly. . plastic has changed in molding the last 20 years. baits get pregnant in tackleboxes.
-
heres food for thought. years back plastic cranks never had these issues. manufacturing now has changed. thinner wall and the use of recycled plastics. this saves man. cost but user end results appear. old wiggle warts,,smithwick, pradco. luhr Jensen etc never had this issue... this has become a very common problem across the world in manufacturing. many companies now have disclaimers on the effects of heat/sun.

New To Painting Spinner Blades. Latex Or Oil? Procedures?
woodieb8 replied to kentjackson's topic in Hard Baits
theres production process,but its not cost effective at hobby level. -
screws are good, one issue on large predators is the net thrashing. torque can loosen screws over time. . we have built screw baits for years. . nowadays folks want wire thru musky/pike lures. . lures being trolled up to 5mph for miles take a reel beating.. ad screw lures that have caught 50 musky before retires. was not a screw issue.was general fatigue and missing wood lol.. just pilot drill your screw holes,and epoxy them in . just my thoughts guys.

hi. did you put ball bearings in your spray bottle. shake repeatedly to keep particles suspedned. .we use nu 5 tip paasche. you can take an old tip sand the end cap a touch. .that creates more flow.. shimmer coats are normally pearls and translucents.. also what clear coat are you using as a carrier when sprayed.
-
I am fooled ,don't understand breaking down 8.2.2 grams. transtar here in Canada is 36.00 a litre with the hardners.. as for using gltters that's an easy fix. mix clear add the micro glitter and a couple ball bearings in cup/bottle. shoot clear after agitating clear to suspendglitters. shoots easy. once again we use the largest tip in paasche h brush .nu 5 tip.at 40-50lbs.. flash coat and then finish coats.
-
transtar clears work well over any paints,. we shoot transtar clear over all. heres a quick tip. after mixing the 4to1 mix we shoot thru the largest tip. nu 5 on our paasche h brushes without thinning.... a fast flash coat over 12 baits. then a finish coat starting over on the first till all are done. dry time to handle above 70 degree,s is normally 1to 2 hours. pull tape before everythings rockhar.d.

hi. on wooden lures we use etex sealcoat,scuff. primers can be white lacquer primer,or zinnser,or rustoleum. .. we spray our primers.. on plastics ,solvent based primers over exsisting factory paints. never an issue. if its an older experienced lure that's rough we will give a light sand then start the process.
-
my lab just comes in to supervise. he is not allowed in the spray booth though..he owns the remainder of the shop though.
-
hi what you explain is an automotive pre-mixed clear cost. youshould not have an issue. try a fast flash coat. let dry then shoot your clear coat. we use auto clears on thousands of plastic cranks yearly., durability is excellent,as its a plastic substrate all should be well over cured waterbased paints.. one key factors the flashcoat to lok the color without making it run . aersols have thinners mixed in,the can.
-
hi you would probably be better off to shop and purchase old stock. if you want to build be prepared for hours/weeks of hiccups lol.. even molding a body will enhance dimensions. can it be done ,you betcha..read every related article here..theres many builders here that create. and yes they think outside of the box.. that's how the world moves ahead.
-
whats the lure made of ,wood,plastic,foams?
-
some guys are using basic hardware screw eyes. there galvanized. try a marine supplier for stainless.
-
a guy spends his hard earned cash. hopefully he has a great experience here. musky guys just want a big tug,a picture and let them go... I tell the young folks . go enjoy the lakes,its the last place you can go,enjoy.its free.,except the thousands ya spent on gear..trying to pass things on ensures a future for others..
-
tell your friend to fish the south shore,canadien side. ruscom river to stony point 15-17ft. find the bait the toothy critter are there.
-
yes dale I'm sorta crazy .lol.
-
pretty darn slik idea.
-
hi. we never have retired airbrush. we just rebuild them. we wash tips and parts in lacquer thinner. I soak tips in a small bottle of thinners. tips will wear. if your shooting mettalics,such as fine sparkle,its abrasive,that will wear openings... when spraying and change of color we keep a small bottle with thinner that we spray thru till clear then shoot the next color...I do know this heat/humidity is playing havoc this summer.. if theres anything I can apply to help folks out feel free/ theres many very qualifies artisans on this site. that's why its sooo cool.
-
that sounds very intresting. we have not ventured there ,,,,,,yet lol.
-
glad it worked out . finishes are amazing. we use paache H brush with nu.5 tip. on a run of baits we use baby food jars instead of the 3 oz paasche jars. just use the hardware from a paashe bottle. get Teflon sipon tube. then your good to go for a few dozen .
-
yes a blower system and respirator. when were done we shut the booth door ,let blowers run for 15 minutes.
-
you will be happy after a few hours you can handle baits. in 24 hours its rock hard. thin coat but durable,wont yellow.,plus it plays well with all paints from water base to lacquer base., just be sure to clean airbrush tips with lacquer thinners or acetone.
-
gino. automotive clears are superior on plastic and metal lures. great choice. we use it in production runs here. 35 years of spraying it. mix 4to1 shoot 35lbs. and have a good blower system. its uv protected also.. transtar urethane clears affordable ,cheaper the DuPont clears.

bandsaws . put tape on lips.
