Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | I had an Instigator left that I had gotten from Doug a while back. And guess what?
Now when I learn how to use this new camera I'll be happy.
When I finish the lure I will show it again as it is still in "the rough" Just got a little excited here.

Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | Thanks guys,
Hey Beav, I AM waiting for the Perkas. The picts above is one lure, it is two sided. Just messing and got a bit excited for a minute. Wait till I get my hands on those Perkas.
Guest: Yes, clear coat will lift it. BUT that was part of the experimenting and researching with blending, mixing, starting over and over and over again until it is perfected. Everything is specifically designed to work with each other. Sorry, but that is all I can say.
Beav and I have been working with this project together and he is able to do it too, but has limited space and has to wait till he gets his shop going. Once he is up and running the colors will be almost unlimited between us. I couldn't think of a better person to team up with for a project like this.

| Well, everything is ready and waiting for the electrician.
I have to upgrade the service to handle heat, light, fan......etc.
I've got all the walls up and insulated. Now I have to add a fold-down cot and a door with a lock on the inside.
I think a slot to have food delivered might be a good idea too. I just have to find room for the recliner and TV.
Stan those are looking better than I figured. I can't wait to actually do some of the work.
Guest, the entire process that Stan and I have been working with has many steps and is very time consuming because we need extra cure time at every phase to avoid having any "lift off" problems while maintaining the integrity of the chrome effect.
Let's just say that if things work out the way we want them to, there shouldn't be any problem.
Any electricians in the Milwaukee area looking for a side job? Just have to pull some bigger wires, (conduit is buried and only 8 years old), upgrade the service and hang some lights and put up some outlets and an exhaust fan.

Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | I will be taking orders anytime Starting Monday. One is looking at four to five weeks for the finished product.
For now, this unigue process will only be available on new lures and not repaints at this time. I have a little testing to do yet to be able to do the repaints due to the condition of some of the old finishes. Hope to be ready for doing the repainting part before the Month is over.

Location: The desert | Stan,
I might be a bit behind in the readings in this forum, but did you happen to mention the cost? Thanks.

Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | No Mike,
I haven't mentioned the price yet. I have in the many emails I have been getting on the Chrome. There is modest cost addition due to the time and work involement needed to produce the finished procduct, but as usual, I try to keep it reasonable. I will give all the particulars in answer to the emails. I believe it is more proper that way.
