Your not the only one. I was over Numbskulls the night before last. He looks like he will need therapy after getting everything done.:err:

Lu,
It's so bad here, I'm lookin for some of last years models to bring!!
My total finished plug count for 2008 = 2 (and they were sent out)

GooGoo Man 02-13-2008 08:35 AM

You are not the only one, In the last 2 weeks I have turned my barn into my "man cave", complete w/ lathe, radial drill press, table saw, band saw & router table. I had to build a workbench & then a spinner. I wish I had found this web site a few weeks earlier. I am in the process of trying to finish about 20 good quality plugs (have a fair amount of screwups also). Time is ticking, now its time to tie some bucktails. I wish you could speed up the drying process of the epoxy.
I can't wait to meet all the good people & see the great plugs & even trade some of my new babys. See you @ PLUGFEST!!!!:jump:

The Dad Fisherman 02-13-2008 09:08 AM

I was painting last night and I brought some to work today to Sand and Prime. Gonna be epoxying tonight and painting too.

No contest plug for me this year.....screwed it up and wasn't happy with it. Just gonna enjoy the company......and the grub

Rockfish9 02-13-2008 09:31 AM

wahlie 02-13-2008 12:14 PM

Lol.... I've been doing the same thing without cutting corners and sacrificing the end result. Just taking my time while being under the gun. Whatever gets completed gets done. I have a feeling tonight is going to be a late night in the cave. :yak4:

ProfessorM 02-13-2008 12:34 PM

Probably did 100 plugs in the last 3 weeks. My spinner has been running non stop. Donations, swaps, and promises. Plenty to assemble and tails to do yet. Plus I got a small swap due in March that I have not even started yet.

I epoxied some last night but have to see how it comes out as i looked inside one of the epoxy bottles and it looked like it had a block of ice in it.I put it in warm water and got it to melt down somewhat so i'm hopeing when i get home tonight its nice and cured if not i'm scrwd.

Rockfish9 02-14-2008 09:29 AM

Lu, how old is the epoxy?,In the past, I know I've had e-tex I've kept over the summer, it never quite cured correctly, looked like it had ice crystals in it...

eastendlu 02-14-2008 10:38 AM

Don't know how old at least 1 year i'll know for sure tonight if it went bad.:err:

eastendlu 02-14-2008 08:21 PM

Thanks Scott i kept it under the faucet and ran hot water on the botlle
i'm still at work so i won't know if it worked until i get home later.Looked like it was a snowball inside the bottle and started melting when the warm water started to heat up the bottle.

Slipknot 02-15-2008 12:30 AM

:wave:

just got done with 10 on the spinner
I tried to use system three clearcoat and just hang them, but the first one came out like poop so I did etex on the spinner

ThrowingTimber 02-15-2008 08:49 AM

Man the pressure :hee: I did about 200 today and only got about 3 million more to go before msba roflmao

Lu keep that warm for a while in a double boiler and it will remix...that happens to all epoxies over time.

Scott, I bet you did those 200 in less time that it takes me to mark the ends.
