Mesh works well for scales, just about any fabric store should have a decently wide variety | |||

Posts: 786 Location: Minnesota | Here are some wild stencils for fish patterns. I think a lot of these are for taxidermist but I woudl think they woudl work for lures. I cut mine out of cardboard or polymer sheets (Depending on need) and buy my scale patterns here: http://www.ahh.biz/products/nylon%20mesh%20fabric%20FHM006.htm http://taxidermy.com/cat/07/scale.html | ||

Posts: 284 | THANKS GRUNT. I OFTEN WONDER WHY PEOPLE ASSUME OTHERS ARE IDIOTS. DO PEOPLE HONESTLY THINK THAT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT TO BUY FABRIC AT WAL-MART OR A FABRIC STORE. THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AND MORE THINGS LIKE THIS. ANY OTHER TYPES OF LIFELIKE STENCILS WOULD BE APPRECIATED FROM EVERYONE ELSE | ||

Posts: 786 Location: Minnesota | ghitierman, I also buy beach bags from Wal-Mart and cut them up for my lure painting. They are thinner material. I like teh stuff from that website as i can buy 1 sq yard at a time and it is heavy duty. This keeps my scale pattern a little bigger showing more of the under-paint. If I want to show less I use the less heavy stuff from the gym bags. That place also sells a lot of different patterns and sizes. I need to buy some more but, don't need that much. I may just buy some and resell the rest on eBay.... For some reason a lot of people pay a good price on eBay for scale material. They just don't know where to look... James | ||
