    I find that a layer or two of clear coat on the lure before I paint it smooths out the foil wrinkles enough that the paint doesn't accentuate the foil creases. You could even mist the scales first to highlight them. He looks great by the way very nice lure!

    What are the angles used when you make the V cuts? It looks somewhere between 20-30 degrees per side, (which would leave the V at 120 to 140 degrees), am I close? And do you then sand the back half if the bait at a steeper angle to allow more side to side action? Thanks! Good stuff!

    • @zimmtex
      @zimmtex  ปีที่แล้ว

      I use 30 degrees most of the time. I will sometimes widen the angle on the rear piece with the sander, but most often I just rely on a fairly wide gap created by the hardware. Thanks for your question and interest!

    Love your content!! I'm making a resin 6.5in gizzard shad swimbait right now, and was wondering if the hardtail will prevent or decrease chances of the hook setting. I see so many soft or brush tails that I feel like maybe there's a reason I don't see many hard tails. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

    • @zimmtex
      @zimmtex  21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I don't think the tail material will affect the hookup ratio. Bottom fins probably will though. What the tail material will affect is the action. A stiffer tail tends to have a wider glide whereas a softer tail turns sharper and is better suited for a choppy action.

    Hey, great lure like allways.
    I'm sorry for my english, but i have a question. You often foil your lures. I love to Do so too, but my target fish is pike and after a few pike strikes the pikes Hit the cleacoat and some air gets between the coat and the foil. Is there any way to awoid this?
    Thanks for your great videos

    • @zimmtex
      @zimmtex  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello! Unfortunately there is not much you can do about that because pike are pretty rough on lures. You can try a two part epoxy clearcoat like I do (multiple coats). If you are already doing that, you might consider switching to a silver paint instead of foil. While silver paint is not as shiny as foil, it would probably hold up a little better.

      Sorry, I am just now seeing your reply. Sometimes it bends; going slower helps. I also don't like to cut right up to the pencil line. I try to leave a little space, then sand the rest off.

    Hello Mike.
    Great video as always.
    Here is a recommendation for you to take the guess work out of weighing your lures. Check out the Engineered Angler's work on TH-cam. He's an Engineer who loves fishing and lure-making. He shows his method of figuring out, pretty much, the exact weight needed for different desired lure behaviors, slow-sinking, fast-sinking etc. He uses some Math/Physics based on wood/material's density and volume.

      So I drill into a scrap board with fostner bits and pour the hot lead into the holes. When they cool, I knock them out by wacking the board on the floor. I plan on making a tutorial video about ballasting which will include that soon.

      You bet, they reccomend 32g Part B to 37g Part A. So to scale that for your project you can start with Part B first (approximately half of what you think you need) and multiply that by 1.16 to get the amount of Part A you need.

    I'd be very interested to know if anyone has used b72 paraloid resin to seal wood for a bait. It's a type of acrylic resin used in conservation and fossil prepping that you dissolve in acetone then paint onto the surface. It would cause issues to polycarbonate if you used it over that since that doesn't like solvents but otherwise I could see it becoming a baitmakers favourite if used correctly

      @Lilith-Rose 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@zimmtex as with other things it's always worth testing on a scrap piece incase it increases off gassing issues with paint and clearcoat. Acetone is a very volatile solvent so it should all evaporate very quickly, and one of the primary uses of this resin is as a consolidant for crumbly or delicate materials since it plasticises them rapidly and is easily reversible unlike resins that rely on a chemical reaction to set (like a two part epoxy for example). I use it personally for preserving fossils, especially those that are susceptible to atmospheric moisture and while watching this the thought just crossed my mind. I know it is used in furniture conservation and in higher concentration can even be combined with microballoons as a filler according to the data sheet although that's not something I have personally explored yet

    • @surfcat2051
      @surfcat2051 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Is that stuff intended to be submerged in water? It sounds like it should work but I don't know anyone that has used it. I know you can use various solvents with it but being that acetone is commonly used I would think a ventilation system would be advisable. ETOH is an option I suppose but how much does that affect drying/curing time? Another question I would pose is how does it behave with paint? Is is expensive? Are you suggesting it just as a sealer or as a top coat as well?

    • @Lilith-Rose
      @Lilith-Rose 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@surfcat2051 a lot of those questions would need testing to answer, I'm not an expert just someone who uses it, and like anything you really need to try it to find out. The two things I can say is that it is relatively inexpensive if you buy it in pellet form and make it up yourself (if purchased from the right place like a conservation supply website in the full tubs rather than ebay where it is priced ridiculously for small amounts to target people new to the hobby) and I was suggesting trying it strictly as a sealer only since a solvent based clearcoat over paint would be an absolute nightmare to use.
