  1. Nice. I'm digging the bluegill paint job, definitely a fisherman catcher. What do they weigh? How do they cast? Is that pvc?
  2. Nice Mark! I too use super glue all the time. A really neat thing I do is use it to build small wooden things like stands or jigs ect. . Just apply the glue to one piece of wood and moisten the other piece with accelerator then carefully line them up before they touch each other then press them together and hold them tightly togather for about 10 sec. . The resulting bond is very strong, Not quite nailed together, but still way stronger than you would need for many applications. It's just cut and glue instant building of whatever wooden thing pops into your mind.
  3. Try Barlows. They just got me an order of bodies and parts super quick.
  4. Sound like the etex and devcon may not be playing nice together, or maybe the etex is not fully cured before you go on to your next step. You can glue in the lip with superglue. That should hold it in and it cures very fast. Also the slot should be kind of snug.
  5. This type of thing works. You can get it at art stores or craft stores.
  6. Check out the list of lure mold companies above, and you shall find what you seek. Starting with bass tackle .com would be a good place to start.
  7. The way that the tail is connected, if it where to be placed a bit under water, I think it would have a good chance of wobbling to and fro, pivoting on that one connection point like a feathered treble, or not. Just something to play with.
  8. Looks pretty good Epp. I just chanced upon someone else having a go at essentially the same thing . Here it is:
  9. My guess is watermelon/black flake with lime /black flake.
  10. Keeping the bait moving forward a bit should increase your hookups. When a bait is just sitting on the water and not moving forward, you will get your worst hookup ratios.
  11. I suppose you could seal it inside and out. Then slip it on a piece of wire or plastic that you coated with a lubricant like oil ect.
  12. It would cut up easy with a grinder and a cutting wheel. Then put in trash bags and put it out a bit at a time with your trash. Not hard at all.

    Nice! I've been thinking of something similar. can we get a couple of pics out of the water? Thanks.
  14. For wood poplar. For a different approach, I've made some out of sculpty clay that dries very quickly in the oven. You could mold it up by hand then put in details while its' soft or just make it smooth then bake it and cut the details in with a dremel. Pvc trim board is also a carving option. Hmmmm, what to do?
  15. Hey Fern, It looks like the lead head that you are using is pretty big. Its stressing the plastic. Shaving it down a bit, or going with a slimmer one should fix the issue. Moving stuff around a little, rather than getting too caught up, is often the better option.
  16. Nice. I just got some sculpty bake dry clay to mess with as a way to make a quick original for molding, but I like this type of use as well. Thanks for sharing that.
  17. Power carvers rule!
  18. I have found that the trick to using the fan trick is to be quite close to the door, garage door ect., and placing the fan so that the back of the fan is near the lead or soft plastic ect and the blowing side is aimed out the door, not at the lead/plastic ect. . So trying to be more clear about this, what you want is the airflow going into the back of the fan to be near the fumes and then have it blown out of the garage by the front of the fan. So you are exhausting the fumes. Then you can adjust the force by adjusting the speed of the fan and how close it is to the offending fumes. Works for me. Cheers.
  19. If you want to get a bunch of weight, shotgun shell shot is a good option. You can get a 25 pound bag of I think it's #6 from bass proshops for about $50. It can be used as is, or melts down nicely if want to go that route in the future, to fill holes or make jigs and spoons ect.
  20. You can also make or buy a stencil with little holes, maybe in different sizes, to speed the process along if you're doing a bunch of them. The trout patterns are definitely cool.
  21. You could probably, measure, cut it with a snipper and pound it a bit with a hammer if needed. Maybe roll it. Something along those lines.
