Members Falcon215 Posted January 14, 2018 Members Share Posted January 14, 2018 I made a set of stencils last week to try and copy the old pattern. It was painstaking work with an exacto knife, all the videos I have watched about stencil making suggested using a dremel tool, and now I know why! I tried to upload some pics of the baits I painted with it this week, but I keep getting an error. Any ideas why I can’t get photos to upload? I am trying to do it from an I phone.

I literally tried for two weeks to upload these pics from an I phone . I ended up emailing myself these pictures and posting from a desk top . Not sure what the problem is . I did use the dremel to make the stencils, but it became monotonous. Now I kinda come up with something new every time I paint. I use paper stencils cut at the time of painting. And free hand with the air brush. And also add some with an actual paint brush . dtrs5kprs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lvn2Fish Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Putting the clear coat on these lures is by far the most tedious phase. One small hiccup will drive the artest completely insane. It also takes about 50x the hours to complete . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get more detail from an exacto btw. I’m just saying don’t believe the dremel hype. To each there own, but I have a much cleaner look using the knife . Plus I can change it on the fly.

Guest Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I’ve screwed up 10X more with clear coat than actual painting. Ambient air temperature variances & humidity can wreck a clear coat. I’ve been using matte plasti dip in the rattle can to get the desired matte finish. But I can’t spray it indoors, so that’s strictly reseverve for warmer months.
