for my specific skill level this has been hands down the most useful tool that I have found on here. The hardware, where you got it, the lathe, the air gun, the paint, the compressor, the trick to get the air bubbles out, etc etc etc. Wow bro! Thank you for your help. I have made some wooden baits that have worked but I have been lacking that professional look that you so effortlessly are achieving. Love your lures, love your commentary, love your craft! Oh and you are the first person in my life, (I am 34) that has ever told me that there is paint out there that you do not have to thin out to shoot in a gun. I will be suggesting your videos to a lot of my friends. I am looking forward to failing for a few months and then having one perfect lure. LOL Thanks for your videos!

I use extex also I use syringes to measure. Drill a 5/32 hole in cap. When ready have syringe pulled back half way. Turn bottle upside down. Push out air in syringe then draw out what you need. You will need one cup. When you need another supply of etex just change the tops. Been doing this for years.

If you get yourself a super cheap kitchen scale, you can measure your epoxy into the same cup by weight. Just a, for example, 20g of one followed by 20g of the other. Super handy.

Hello Papapig, greetings from Peru...I enjoyed a lot after watching your sequence of 5 vids... When applying the epoxy with cheap brushes I had the same problem with some strands that got stuck on the lures. Since some time ago I began to do my own disposal brushes (I posted a video in my channel). Since then, I save money and brushes never leave strands on the lures anymore... I do my own lure as well ... thank you for sharing your tips...

What seemed to be missing is when you poured the resin into the hardener, then mixed thoroughly, you then need to pour that mixture back into the other cup so that you get the correct 50/50 mix of the 2 parts. If not, then part of the formula will be left behind in the 2nd cup and that could weaken the results.

Excellent material Papapig15, i'm more that sure that this is the most complete, accurate and informative video in youtube about making fishing lures, thanks a lot for this, i just started making my first inspired in your video. i have some questions about your rotor to keep moving your lures during the epoxy process, where can i get on like that, i really like the distribution for 8 lures and how do you seal the tail weight, not sure if you applied the same epoxy you used on the belly. thank you in advance.

Easy fix: to only use one cup. Takes two equal parts water in two cups. Mark one cup. Dump the unmarked cup in on top and make another mark. You now have a cup with two proper marks.

Urgent question: I've applied Envirotex two-part resins to some spinnerbait heads, but it was a bad mix and the lures are semi-soft after a day of drying. Is it possible to try again, by putting a layer of correctly mixed resin on top of the first coat that didn't fully harden?

Do you need a specific type of epoxy? I got devcon and it starts hardening after I've only painted 1/4 of the lure
@PAPAPIG15
8 жыл бұрын
That's really hard to work with because it's a 5 min epoxy. Maybe it will be good for small crank baits stuff like that. But you need something with a longer working time for bigger baits.

they do make a devcon that has a longer cure time as well. one thing i have just noticed with actual epoxies though, is that they are UV. i was doing a 2-step process for coating my lures. i would use devcon on certain parts first, where i need to hold the lure by for my etex coating. what i found out just recently, when testing my lures with a UV light, is that anywhere i used the devcon(and sometimes a different epoxy) they light right up a glowing green. just something to consider.
