Spring wood...
First few dannies for next year.... I think I'll try epoxy with a touch of pearl glitter on these instead of urethane... Lets see, equal parts, keep the stuff warm, turn them, etc... Hope I can remember :-)
Am going to do a batch with single hooks at the back. Got too many trailing trebles in the back of my hands this summer while unhooking fish. Will this have any affect on hook ups (besides my hand?)?

nice job classic paint! I like the singles on the back myself, most stripers will be on the center hook anyway. small tip,,, remove the split rings and cover the swivel in the center with a cut off piece of straw before epoxy! Great job!

John definitely go with the siwash. Nice lookin stuff.
Hey did you by chance give me a olive/white painted Salty Danny from those blown out blanks? It's been hanging in the shop for a while and I can't remember who gave it to me now.

I can relate... I stopped 'poxying last winter when I had two batches not set up. I did notice that by July they were nice and hard :-)
Getting a heat lamp or quartz heater to be sure they are nice and warm when they're curing....

John, Nice stuff......Gotta love that yellow. 
Give the Devcon two ton epoxy a try, I've never had any problems w/ it setting up. and you don't have to keep turning the plugs . sets up pretty quick |

Thanks TDF! I'll check it out. Hate those twin tube set ups. I always squeeze out more from one side than the other :-)

Make sure you use the 30min devcon. It takes much longer to yellow.

John I like the tubes but I cut them and make two separate tubes and it works much better. You can refil those tubes also. I just finished some lures tonight and the two ton expoxy is what I used to finish thm off. A cheap china brislle brush work just fine to spread the epoxy evenly over the plug.
