Thread: information on how to make your own tube skirts.

Now this has me thinking. Great idea. On the nails, are you using a galvanized nail or a coated sinker with the varnish removed before dipping?Also, did you smooth out the end of the nail at all? Round it off a bit instead of leaving the sharp point?

we are using regular steel nails I put a little bit of vegetable oil on a rag and wipe the nails I take each nail and get them and sent them into my holder made out of a piece of wood real simple you could actually make a little bored if you have a dish big enough for your plastic you can make a lot of these in a big hurry I will enclose a picture here to show you what I have done.

yes I rounded off the end of the nails.
now I'd better get ready to go out and make 100 of these for ifish.
