the pic still doesn't quite show the effect you get, it's like a holographic yo-zuri type finish.
The bottom one i did first, just like the how-to. When i got to the epoxy part I ended up getting some areas that sagged and others that didn't get enough epoxy. The 5 min epoxy didn't give me enough work time to coat the whole plug, me being used to envirotex. I was too late in trying to 'roll' the epoxy smooth with a magizine cover ( i even used a cabela's catalog as i was instructed
) I then coated the plug after it dried with e-tex a made it somewhat better.
On the other 3 i just did the 5 min epoxy around the belly hook hole, and the end of the plug to tack the body-braid to the plug. Did the tailwrap, then two coats of e-tex to cover the braid.
One top one, i didn't put enough 5 min epoxy on the tail. The braid separated from the plug, but the epoxy kept it from unraveling.
The hypnotic thing is more noticable with the darker colors, the top one (which is spoken for
) has a more subtle effect.
