Wow those are amazing!

Thx everybody! I am trying to elevate my game with all the super skilled painters on this site! Its almost like everybodys elses makes mine look like kindergarten work lol! I am determined to keep at it! Thx again for all the kind words!

that is fricken sweet! The hump seems kind of odd, but I think it will catch fish!

target coatings sc9000 is about the same way. The cs stuff is easy to work with, only thing is, 9.99 per 4 oz or 12.99 per 4 oz with uv stuff in it! if the target stuff is the same, isnt gallon like 25$? I could get a lot more for my money that way!

Btw, those syringes I beleive are 4oz each! and they mix evenly and has a cap to seal it! I may try this out and just buy one to try if I like it I will get more! I would also be willing to buy them for people as long they cover the shiping lol!

Right now I am using cs coatings 1 part water based epoxy. Its not bad, but I need like 2-4 coats and let it hand for a couple days so it gets pretty hard! It will not stand up to a 36'' pike though I found that out lol!

It looks like it goes on nice! I am assuming it dries very hard!?! I need something else to try! I am thinking of trying devcon as I found a local store that carrys the 30 min stuff in syringe and I can get a 6 pack of them for 18$! Where did you order your target coatings from?

Man I wish I had your skills! I cant figure out how to layer like that and get everything right!

Dave have you used that on plastic cranks? If so do you dip or brush on? How has it held up?

Nice looking gills pattern Dave!

Very nice stuff, welcome to the board!

I did a few new things and a twist on a current pattern, and I also did one for Bill with a twist! Let me know what you think and or would change!!!! These are a couple lipless cranks I did! This is with the camera flash so you could see the reflectiveness of the base paint! Ayu pattern with "bandit" eyes! I call this Chrome lime tiger pearl! same bait with camera flash! a close up of the chrome blue! again let me know what you think! only way to improve is to hear ideas of what people do/dont like!

There is a place here in nearby Toledo OH called Kenkraft, they sell their balsa and basswood to Janns, thats where i get my wood and its very reasonably priced!

that looks awesome!

One word! BALLER!

Those are amazing, thx for showing me, now I feel like even more of a newb lol!

Dang thats sweet, I am gonna attempt to make one of those over the winter!

Looks good, I wish I had those cool paints like yours lol! Mine just dont sparkle like that!

These were plastic cranks! I am using a 2 part epoxy from cs coatings that is viynl based! I think it had effect on the waterbased stuff I am using! I am gonna try and find some devcon and try that out!

What kind of patterns are you thinking? I can do basic stuff, but none of the real life types yet!

I think almost everybody in this section does!

I may try that next time! I also want to try etex, but I dont have the funds to build a drying wheel right now!

do you dip it? and can I use it with plastic baits or is that just for wood lures?

what do you use? devcon? I got some cs coatings 2 party epoxy and brushed it on!

Ok this only happened one one bait so I am not sure what happened! I use createx paint and have been clearing them with clear laquer or some sort of clear paint! What do you clear with before using epoxy?
