Thread: How It's Done

Easy fellers, dangerous hanging around the makeup isle at Wal-Marts. I got caught in the finger nail polish isle and was approched by a couple of gals tellin'
me what colors I should use..........LOL

Well snake I was doing some investigation on color additives . I found that the same types of colorants were used in numerous applications from paints to floor tiles . I also looked at organic colorants . That is when I read about these same types of additives were also use in make up and often contain bat guana . That when i said holly Bat Sh1+ I can use it on lures since the product is design to stay where its put and is water resistant . I went to the local flea market where there is a big tub full of the stuff for .25 to a dollar per item got ten dollars worth . Took just about and I had the answer to how to make a TRULY custom bait . The thing I hate worst is dipping a bait in hot clear plastic . It not only changes the shape of the bait but is a pain in the rump . Since I have already been using an airbrush to paint swim baits I was familiar with the clear plastic paint Knowing already that dipping in hot plastic did not run eyeshadow every where I figured the plastic paint would work and hold the eyes on too . Last experiment was to test it in powder paint . Which also worked . This is handy to know if you happen to just want to tint your powder without buying a whole jar . I may be nuttier than a Payday but every now and then I can come up with something fun .

well I guess I'm going to have to go get some eyeshadow I hope my wife does not catch me or one of my neighbors in the store when I'm buying it.

you wouldn't do that to me would you I sent you some samples in the mail you should be getting them any day.

That pondhopper is sure one smart fisherman.. Sure makes some really neat looking baits too...

Thanks a million guys for the kind words .
Snake take her with you cause she will know more about how to blend the colors .
And I'm not so smart , Its I have this curiosity that is like a hungry wolf . No matter how much I feed it , It just keeps coming around .
Next project is how to do swirls or laminates without special tools . OH BOY that is gonna be a real test .
