tired of swivels



sticking to your clear coat when drying...put a straw over the swivel , just make shore it's a waxy one.

BOAT fish do count.

good one capesams,
The epoxy wont stick to the straw esp if you cut a slot in it leghtwise. I do that with the treble hooks hanging and all on plugs that im "re expoxying". I use rubber bands with wire hooks to keep the trebles away from the plug facing IN towards the center shaft of the rotisserie. It works for sure. the epoxy pops right off the straw and you can re-use them over and over.

just a matter of knowing what paint doesn't like another kind of paint. put them together wet and watch the battle begin.
