| Typically when I foil a bait , I put the foil on and then clear it till it's smooth ,then paint, then more clear . Do any of you ever paint directly onto the foil ? Thinking about doing some paint on foil then clear then more paint ?
Thanks,

| I shoot after clear now. I was doing a 2" x-rap and my airbrush shot out a huge globby mess, by the time I cleaned it off the edges of the foil started coming up and it resulted in a complete do-over, it was a big pain and waste of time. |

I can't afford that to happen to me...Hasn't yet...that's why I got myself a quality motor to turn the wheel that holds 30 baits at a time. |

Too funny I had a brand new pair of jeans on cleared a few baits and put them on the wheel. I use door springs to connect the baits on one to adjust for the length. The spring slipped off the bait flew right at me hit my right leg and did this grabby slide thing all the way down to my shoe! Of course I was moving to keep it from hitting the floor (full of bucktail) so got the left leg into the fray too. Then went for the grab and when I bent over pulled the left leg back which took the grabbing bait and skidded it onto the floor like someone rolled the dice! I think I said Shawn once and Jason twice!! |

Location: mpls | I hear you. I just had a bolt come undone on my machine. The actuator arm came off. Luckily the epoxy was pretty well cured. Still some drips to take care of. 60 baits to sand down! All of them were getting their second topcoat ( over foil base) so I could start painting. Uggghhhh!!!!!
