Well I did my first batch with doing the epoxy first and did like the way the finish dried. (System 3) I used both methods ferris wheel and hanging and the finishes on both look better than when I used to do the wirieng and lip first then epoxy. I am finding that the lip cut needs to be re cut open. I wish I would of seen Taggers bent card trick before. Most came free with a razor blade but a few will need to be rebandsawed. adding the bill and brommets after leave a cleaner looking plug. I did what Jigs said and used prebent wire but also added masking tape around the wire so the plug did not wobble or slip. My next batch I will experiment using some type of stopper on the wire ends possibly made of rubber. Or a screw plug without the through wire.


Its only art if it don't catch fish!
