Lip Slot ??

How do you guys keep the Epoxy from gumming up you lip slots before you put in the lips. I usually epoxy after but I was trying to get a cleaner look and am noticing that trying to keep the slots clean is a pain in the Arse.

Hoping to get the MOASS plugs done in time for the Plugfest so I can do the Hand-off to Tobias.

TDF, try pieces of shiny poster paper or better yet cut up pieces of credit cards. Just remove them when it gets sticky.
Hope it helps

I clear coat after I rig. I like the fact that the goop gets in the slot and holds things together all the more solidly and adds a smidge more water intrusion protection. A little finesse with the acid brush and they don't look too bad, after all they are just fishing lures.

Why even try.........
