hmmmmm not sanding ? hows that working out for you ? I built a dryin rack out of a grill rotisserie that I turn them with instead of hangin, nothing wrong with hangin just wanted to see how this will work

I' ve had just as good of luck without sanding them Larry. I always add a little water to the white. It seems to spray better if you thin it a little. With two coats, it covers completely and doesn't peel off. The reason I hang mine is so a lot of the top coat will drip off. It still leaves an even finish, just not as thick. You just have to trim the excess off of the rear eyelet with a pocket knife when it dries.

what you doing to keep the eyes white? then how about the eyes? how you doing the blacks of the eyes?

White paint then black paintDoh. Seriously two different size drill bits or nails work for making the eyes. Just dip the end in paint then touch the bait and you have an eye.

Go to Wally World in the crafts dept. and get bottles of white and black enamel craft paint. I'll squirt a little puddle on a paper plate and I use the tip of a Sharpie marker to do the white. When that dries, I use the blunt end of a small drill bit to do the black. When you top coat, they are there forever.
