I'm going to make flat stencils for the bluegill pattern. 

Do any of y'all make your own bluegill pattern stencils?

I used the bob smith on my RK Crawlers last night. One of them is perfect & one has sticky residue. Is this due to dipping the stir stick in denatured alcohol? Maybe too much?

do I need to wipe down the sticky bait with denatured alcohol to remove the excess residue? 

I can always hit it plasti dip on a warm sunny day next week.

It's either mixed wrong, not mixed long enough or the ambient temp dropped below 70 degrees while brushing on the epoxy. I don't think it's the alcohol.

I cut a flat craw/vertical squiggle stencil the other day. Kind of old school like Bagley's or Arbogast. Thought at the time it would work for a perch pattern. Might need more stripes, cut closer together.

Just took a sharpie to some stencil film, then followed it with a hot cutter.

I put the base coat on the blugill pattern, & sprayed plasti dip on a watermelon red RK crawler to give it a dull matte finish.

I warmed the lure & the rattle can of plastidip, then stepped out front where its blocked from this wind. Very nice finish cost. Pre-heating the is the deal. 85 degrees is better than 70 degrees.

had to make a crankbait stencil yesterday out of paper and packaging tape because I lost the other one :(

I used  a small oval shaped piece  with the design drawn on it. I laminated the paper on both sides with a piece of clear packaging tape then used a razor knife to cut out the design. This made a quick,2 sided ,very flexible,easy to clean and  position, paint proof stencil that can be used several times.
