I placed an order The other day. The site loaded a little slow between steps but I was able to complete the order

[Biggest screw lock you can buy in bulk]

maybe you can get some wire and a rod and Make your own

[3” paca chunk?]

I have this

[Which VMC hook is this?]

Looks like their basic 90° jig hook. 9147

[Spaz Stix chrome]

Can you topcoat Spaz Stix chrome with Devcon, or will it it destroy the finish?

[Need Help On the Zoom Green Pumpkin]

Chances are you have the right colorant, you just don’t have the right combination. Sometimes it takes a lot of time and material to find the right color. Good luck

[Shelf’s lures]

My order from Shelts was delivered yesterday. I got no confirmation or tracking emails. Apparently the internet and shipping aren’t locked down, but wired that they didn’t reply to my emails. Also, even though it took 17-20 days to get delivered, the return address was in Southern California 

[Floating Plastics]

FYI Be very careful if you use the glass micro bubbles. Wear a mask as you DO NOT want to breathe/inhale this product. A friend tried them and as mentioned, they do alter the color of the plastic and you have to use a lot of tin order to float a book. IMO , not worth the trouble. YMMV

[Shelf’s lures]

Has anyone dealt with Shelts lately? I’ve sent several emails over the last few weeks and haven’t gotten a reply. Are they still in business? Thanks

[Lure paint removal]

Thanks, I tried sanding and stopped when it started to damage the lure. I’ll try using the denatured alcohol. 

[Lure paint removal]

any/all replies

[SELLING SOFTBAITS]

Sorry, didn't see that. Thanks

[SELLING SOFTBAITS]

If you already haven't done so, talk to your tax person. You need to fill out and file Form 720 every quarter and pay 10% of your sales. You might also need a business license, depending on where you live. If you're going to sell, do it right, you won't like  the consequences  if you don't and get caught and/or reported. 

[Small Business side of this...?]

Once you start selling baits, it will become a business, no longer a hobby. If you are successful, you will have to work long hours to keep up with demand. How many styles and/or colors are you going to offer? Will you be doing custom work? Molds can add up if you have to have them custom made. Don't forget packaging supplies. 

 

[Selling Copies of Lures]

If you're selling them online and there is a patent, you will know. That's the first place they look for infringement. If that happens, you will get a cease and desist letter from the patent holder's attorney. Then you have a choice, stop selling them or end up in court

[Bone color]

I'm using this for bone. All of my friends are happy with it.

[compressor for powder paint]

Go to the pet section at Walmart. Get a 50 gal aquarium  pump, hose and an adapter to control the air flow. 

[Paint gun]

Look at the Iwata Neo combo at Hobby Lobby. Comes with a mini compressor and you can get a 40% off coupon online

[Fluid bed paint cups]

Go to your local post office and get a Tyvek envelope. They're free. 

[Display case Ideas]

It turned out great. I have no such skills, I found this at Michael's for $25. It has a lock on the side. 

 

 

[3.8" swimbait clam shells?]

Try Placon

We just got a report from our local supermarket that one of their employees has Covid 19.  Yesterday, they sent an email to all of their club members.

They closed completely today, and are sanitizing the entire store.  Due to reopen tomorrow.

My daughter and I are doing our shopping there online, and doing a drive thru pickup on Sunday.  I just hope they can really sanitize everything, since the virus can live on hard surfaces for days.

We'll wear gloves, use hand sanitizer, and wash our hands after handling the food, but I don't know how to sanitize the food itself, other than cooking it.

If you want to be 100% safe, you might think about canceling the order

[What material do you use for swim bait tail fins]

It's probably easier and less hassle to just buy replacement tails. I forgot the brand but there were4 in the package

[copy a open pour molds]
