Did you shrink wrap the shell?

No. I shot those with a couple of pieces of cut stencil material. Just a curve for one, and a straight piece cut ragged to connect across the back. That's cut rough on one side, finer on the other for different textures.

Trying to match this guy...

One thing about craw stencils...

We all bug out about having the lines match up. If you look at a craw, it never looks even. Always moving, different she'll wear, etc.

Charlie...

You can move that ragged edge sheet around to get the contour you need. Takes some practice. I tend to forget which way the spray will hit.

Thanks. They're ready for "dots and spots"- eyes and finish details, then a final clear coat. Basketball got in the way of that tonight.

I painted a couple baits tonight. The red ring around bill was new. I used my thumb as the stencil. Lol

Sometimes it really is that simple. I'm definitely guilty of making it harder than it should be at times.

I tried to order D2T on ebay & its nowhere to be found. It came up with Bob Smith Industries BSI-205H Clear 30 Minute Epoxy, 4.5 oz..

I use D2T when Im doing KVD 1.5 in small batches & single experimental colors.

I got the Bob Smith after consulting a quick search on TU. It's similar to D2T
