these look sweet! they are my favorite repaints that you have done so far. you should put a shad spot on them!

the entire walmart franchise stopped carrying Devcon products and switched to Loc Tite. its a shame because they were by far the cheapest source. now i get my devcon 2ton at true value hardware, and i've heard Ace carries it as well. set time is about 20-30 min, working time is more like 5 or 6. even if you are the Flash, 5 min epoxy is no substitute because it dries yellow and is not water proof.

thanks fishindaddy! this is real cool of you!!!

cool. sent.

inline spinners in shallow brackish coves = white perch. LOVE fishing for them with ultralight gear. they fight so hard for their size!

dang your first quarter is over already? we just got our interim reports a few days ago (midway through first quarter). does interim count ;D?

my parents were upset that i didn't give two s#^%@ about this, looks who's laughing now.

that is a sweet picture!

and for naming their kid "Falcon"

dang, really? that sucks...he was alright...

3:08 HOLY S$#&!!!!

love the song, so appropriate lol! ;D

if your topcoat does not have UV protectors/inhibitors, it will yellow in time. the Devcon i've used yellowed. if you do go to the hardware store looking for epoxy, be sure to get devcon two ton, not five minute. the five minute doesn't provide enough working time, does not dry perfectly clear, and is not waterproof.

ha those are good ones!

so many different kinds of clears to use. i don't know of anybody that uses aerosol clear, i don't think they are very durable. a lot of people use epoxy as a clear, moisture cure urethane like Dick Nite's (can be dipped or thinned and sprayed through airbrush). i'm trying out a waterbourne polyurethane that i dip, but it can also be sprayed. a lot of people also use automotive clears which are usually sprayed through a spray gun or airbrush. there is just so much to look into when picking out clears, and don't be afraid to try a bunch and see what works for you.

sweet pictures! are they airbrushed?

took me about 45 seconds to realize these are trout patterns and fish scales and stuff on these.

that minnow trap you have will work fine. its all about location. throw a ripped up slice of white bread in the trap, and put it in shallow water real tight to cover. in my creek i can put my minnow trap in and catch easily over 100 blacknose dace and about 20 or so golden shiners overnight. keep trying and switch your location each time.

that kit WOULD work, but you should seriously consider buying a small tool compressor and a dual action airbrush. the tool compressor will cost you around 100 bucks but will be able to maintain enough pressure so that the motor isn't running constantly while brushing. those little airbrush compressors can only put out like 40 or 50 psi, and so the motor will be running a whole lot while using. plus you can use a tool compressor to do around-the-house jobs like fill your tires and dust stuff off, and even run small air tools if you have them. have a look at this compressor: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?jspStoreDir=hdus&catalogId=10053&productId=100645228&navFlow=3&keyword=airscout&langId=-1&searchRedirect=airscout&storeId=10051&endecaDataBean=com.homedepot.sa.el.wc.catalog.beans.EndecaDataBean%40499a7124&ddkey=Search a dual action airbrush is just so much easier to use (with a little practice) and provides a whole lot more control than a single action. gravity feed is also a plus because you can shoot at lower psi. this is a nice dual action gravity feed airbrush that will serve you well: http://www.chicagoairbrushsupply.com/iwrebr.html you don't have to "go pro" but i have a feeling if you get that 110 dollar kit you will wish you got a bit nicer stuff. the products in the link above have worked great for me and i would recommend them to anyone looking to start out. as for spraying clearcoat, it all depends. some people use epoxy, some people use polyurethane, some people use a moisture cure urethane, some people use automotive coatings. if your clearcoat is thin enough then you can spray it. clearcoats like polyurethane and Dick Nites (moisture cure urethane) can be sprayed if thinned slightly. these can also be dipped. automotive clear's can also be sprayed, as this is how they're meant to be applied. epoxies need to be brushed on.
