It's actually purple in person. And it's marabou. Tail: Saddle Hackle Flash: Olive flashabou Body: Chartreuse, purple, and olive marabou. Then a little dubbing to cover the eyes.

Those are nice RPS. I've never caught a fish on a harness but I admit I never tried very hard either. Mine are for a different type of fishing but still lure making to me.

I knew when they took it out that they would find a way to drag their feet on getting it back. The City of Springfield is anti-fishing.

Is that what all this is about? Fishing? Hell I was looking for a website for this bingo parlor at the YMCA, well one thing led to another, and the instructions got all fouled up......

Is that a good spot for lunch?

Same thing happened to the unicorns.

Springfield Brewing Company has the best mac and cheese ever.

You are welcome. I’ve probably been in this business longer than anybody in their customer service department. I mean the coatings business. Spraying any coating is about atomizing it properly. And that requires the correct amount of product and air mixture at the tip. Too much product and it goes on lumpy or tries to run off on the floor. Too much air pressure and it goes on dry and creates a huge amount of overspray. You just have to practice until you find the right mix.

Seems a lot of guys are going with the ones from harbor freight and customizing them to fit their needs.

Not always. If my dad was around you could ask him since it was usually his boat that I was driving like I stole it. It wasn't about ego at all. I loved it. Maybe a little too much. I never crashed, though there were times I thought I might die. But it wasn't driven by ego at all.

Marion had that same "You are a dumbarse" look that my wife would have.

.5mm can be too small but it might not be. You have to get some precision in the reduction before you can say for sure. And that PSI seems really high. I use a different brand of brush but it's rarely over 15lbs. You need to take some time and see how viscosity and air pressure affect what you are spraying. If you can get that dialed in then you can determine if .5 is enough. The coatings I use are about the viscosity of water. Very thin so they spray well through it but I'm using a .8mm nozzle. And that's mostly because of the metallics and the clear. At 50% reduction though you have it so transparent that you are trying to pile it on to get coverage. And probably not letting it flash long enough between coats. And at 40 PSI it's really blowing it through there. Reduce it 10%, cut back on the pressure, and see how it goes. Then you can adjust your pressure and your reduction to get something acceptable.

It's not an airbrush issue. It's a viscosity thing. No matter what equipment you are using you have to find the viscosity that performs best with that equipment while also staying within the viscosity reduction guidelines for that product. Sometimes certain products are just not going to work well for an airbrush. And there are so many variables. -air pressure -nozzle size -viscosity All of those are going to change the way a product sprays. And sometimes it's the way you spray that creates problems. Different equipment with the same setup isn't going to change anything. It might if you were using junk equipment but Iwata is anything but junk. And it shouldn't have "ruined" anything. Those brushes are still fine just need a little TLC.

Oh I know but their information has never been the best on their products and misleading in some cases. But they aren't the only coatings company with that issue. Here is the reduction info from the application guide. Flair is going to fall into Pearls, Aluminums, Metallics. And it says that it's not recommended here. It's a combination of small tip sizes and low pressure. A bigger tip is going to give better results. And remember you are going to get a lot more dramatic effect from Flair if you are going over a dark base. If it's a light base it will not have much effect at all. It's just a characteristic for that type of pigment.

Keep an eye out for the Ozarks Howler and the Blue Man of the Ozarks.

Your tip sizes are so small that you are going to have a hard time spraying these things. You can't make it thin enough to atomize properly with those tip sizes. Well without reducing it to the point that it's mostly reducer. And the pearls in the 4412 are going to make it worse. I really need to go into business selling you guys small quantities of good products that won't give you fits. Could probably make just about any color you wanted too. I'm not hammering on you TrophyFishR. Just hate to see people struggle with the limits of some products.

And it's hard to find a happy medium. I've got to have one though.

That should be plenty.

GPS or lots of experience. And then you have to remember that things always change. But yes there are some smaller creeks you can run to the back of.

The T&A is a great fly. The rainbows will eat it up too. I know what's happening at the vice tonight.

Thinking about some bass tonight.

I really despise all things Patriots. Least favorite team ever. But you can’t deny Brady’s ability. Nothing rattles him. Harrison didn’t move on. His team took a crap on him. But i guess he can show them his new ring soon.

Well I’m very jealous of that. And you are right about that bait. That’s a hard section to get on and doesn’t get much traffic. Should be lots of good fishing.

Great memories. I’m definitely jealous of the SB trip. One of the greatest Steelers ever will be playing in this years Super Bowl.

We live in a society that demands greatness. You can be the best if you put forth the effort. That is until you are great. You did work your posterior off to get where you are. And then the witch trials begin. I’m not a fan of the team or the coach or the owner. But I am a fan of greatness. So go TB12. Go Eagles too. I’m not watching to see a halftime performance, I’m not watching too see someone lose, and I’m sure not watching for a political statement from a football player. I’m watching to see a game. I’m watching to witness greatness.
