i use an ultra fine sharpie but it will run with your clear i think. it works fine with D2T.

Wal Mart is where i usually find mine. I have noticed selection varies alot from store to store.

good job . keep up the good work

Sounds like your paint is still too thick. Keep thinning little by little until you find that perfect blend. You will eventually notice it seems like every can of paint is slightly different than the next. Keep practicing and you will get it. Hope this helps.

Nothing, but maybe a paint job. The guys around here can't catch one on a standard finish other than the White lady. Some people like to upsize the hooks on the 95. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know where I can find an Evinrude intruder 150 powerhead at a reasonable price? Thanks

Where in the store is this located. No one at our local store knows what I'm talking about.

I am pretty sure it is Pumpkin with green flake in the standard glitter from Skirts Plus. Hope this helps.

Thanks Catch it. I went to Harbor Freight and they were loaded with D2T. I tried the local Ace and True Value and the auto parts stores with no luck.

There are 12 Walmarts:wink: withing an hour of my house and every one of them is sold out of not only D2T but everything Devcon. Have they stopped carring it? I asked associates at most of the stores and they did nnot know. Where else can I buy it at a reasonable price? Thanks

Just spray a light grey scaled pattern on the back and use a blue pearl over it. turns out fine. you can go to any automotive paint store and buy the pearl. You can get it solid or they will mix it in the clear for you. At least the store i deal with does. hope this helps. also the candy yellow is almost perfect for the stripe down the side.

Can this crackle effect be achieved with acrylic laquer? I have tried everything and am not getting satisfactory results. thanks

Thanks for the help. We have metal filters at work and I was able to salvage some of it by raking the blocks over it(sorta like a cheese grater). It is finer now than before. The colors I have tried turned out fine.

It has been in my truck for about a week. I just read that warning. Thanks spike.

I just got my paint out of the truck and it is all hard as a rock. most of it has never been opened and the others only used a little. What caused this. I have about $300 worth of paint I cant use:flame:. Thanks

I have a guy at the local auto paint store match the colors for me. Sometimes I can play around and get it right, but I can carry a lure to him and he matches it perfectly for me. Just an option you may want to consider. Hope this helps.

I use an ultra fine point sharpie. It is alot smaller than the fine point.

I use an ultra-fine point sharpie. The only place I can find those are at Michael's.

Yes in the side above the front hook hanger and in line with the lip,but stay towards the bottom edge of the lip. It will work with a #9,but knock a 1/4" hole for that one. I will try and post pictures.

I forgot to mention with the extra weight and Devcon a #7 will throw like a rock.

Hey basssj, there are several things you can do to a #7 shad rap. I have poured lead and used split shot in the sides, but the best I have found is take a 3/16" diameter icepick and poke a hole in line with the front hook hanger and the bottom edge of the lip. You want to keep it as low as possible. You should feel the lead already there with the icepick, that way you can slide right above it. If you get the hole to high the bait will have a wide rolling action and it will not dive as deep and may not run correctly either. Make sure the hole is perfectly straight, if it is crooked, your bait may not run right and probably can't be tuned. If you try to drill the bait, you stand a good chance of damaging the the thru-wire or the existing lead. You should get some 3/16" x 3/8" steel dowel pins. they fit perfect. Then add a thin coat of Devcon and this bait will suspend in 50-52 degree water with the same killer action. I have modified literally hundreds of shad raps, so I hope this helps. These weighted shad raps have won many tournaments on my home lakes of Hartwell, Russell, Keowee, and Clarks Hill. Good luck and let us know how they turn out for you. I ruined a bunch before I started getting them right.

I have several lucky craft crankbaits to repaint and was wondering the best way to get the crawfish legs off the bill without ruining it. I have tried several methods and the all mess the lip up. Acetone worked the best, but it started breaking down the plastic. Any help would be appreciatted. Thanks, Benny

i think i speak for most on here. i use the 5 min. devcon for filling holes.
