FOILING

This if my first try at it so I went big. another 8" x 2" plug. there will be 5. pic"s showing how I did it.
1. I had sound some ROAD KILL WOOD was an old chair so I cut of the ends
2. sanded an filled in where the cross member was w/ a section of the crosss member.
3. sanded it again, sealed, an primed in black so you can see the scale. I cut it to fit, an put the cut section on TOP.
4.Foil I used regular reynolds wrap 6.5mm again cut to fit.
5. this was the most time consuming part (for me ) I took an 12mm eye an holding the stem I rubbed each scale to get it's effect.
then painting, did't know what to pait it never see a plug so shiney, so I asked Etch for a suggestion an he said PURPLE/WHITE.

thats it the purple showed the CREASE in the foil on TOP so I hit it w/black to hide it , now it BLACK,PURPLE, SILVER, CREAM belly
(sorry) ETCH ran out of WHITE.
thats it
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN
