  1. Does anyone have a good formula that gives better paint flow in an airbrush? Seems like I read glycerin, water, and Windex. I am having trouble with Createx paints flowing consistently with using only water to thin them
  2. The "Spider Mesh" worked great. Bought it at Joanne Fabrics. Sprayed Elmers Adhesive to adhere
  3. Cool look. Still not the look of this mesh. It's almost like taking chewing gum and stretching it and holes ripping open along the way.
  4. Bath scrunchies and wedding veil is what I have always used too. This is a very irregular pattern with different size openings. Hard to describe. I have a picture, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to add it to my text
  5. I have always painted through fabric mesh to get a scale pattern. Lately, I have noticed scale patterns that seem to be painted through some sort of mesh that has a very irregular pattern. Any idea what this mesh is and where it is available?

    Carver, looks good. Question, do you make the coffin bill or do you have a supplier? I would be interested in purchasing some of the bills if you would share your source.
  7. Does anyone know of a supplier that sells coffin shaped bills with line ties that can be used for handmade balsa cranks?
  8. I agree on sealing the bait with D2T. I seal my balsa crankbaits with Devcon 30 min. After dry, I sand until smooth, then airbrush and seal again with D2T after painting is complete. Works great
  9. I am also interested in the clear coat. I have painted a couple reels (createx) which turned out very nice. However, I used automotive clear coat in a rattle can and after a season of fishing, the finish became gummy at wear areas and the finish and paint came off in those areas. I was told my a guy that owns a body shop that all rattle can clear coat is susceptible to heat from the sun and will become gummy. I read the answer about the 2 part clear coat. How is it applied?
