Guest whittler Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 That is some Grade A work, they look great. Are you using an epoxy top-coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 You busted me Whittler.That is actually a new top coat that is water born.It actually has a tough finish(not as tough as epoxy).The only kickbacks are,its not as glossy and it has a 30 day curing time before it is 100% absorbtion free.Do you use epoxies?I have heard they are hard to work with.And I noticed there pretty expensive.

Guest whittler Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I do use an epoxy top-coat on my baits. After trying about everything from automotive clear coats to bar top finishes I have setteled on two types of epoxy. With most epoxy you will need to rotate the baits slowly while the epoxy sets to get a smooth finish. A wood bait must be sealed, once water gets to the wood you have problems, plastics does'nt matter, just makes a better finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton_Mike Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 IF your trying to make the weighted falcon hooks the best way I know how is to wrap the hook in solder wire and shape it with a solder gun. It's very difficult to get lead to flow in such a small space like you are talking about unless you use one of those spinning molds.

CJ Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Looks like your post got put in the wrong spot.I don't have alot of exprience pouring,but the guys I know usually have a diecast mold made at a machine shop.What you need is a prototype of what you want.I would try to post this as a new topic.You should get some good advice.Good Luck CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
