Swap Plugs been eating up my time. I got 13 more to epoxy and then they'll be on their way. When those are done it will be my turn

Pikies: mini's, jumbos and a couple of sizes in between. Oh yea, jointeds. Been messing with a different joint design hoping to tighten up the wiggle a bit from that wide snake-swim. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But right now I'm just getting out of component hell with a new plugging rod I'm putting together.

Cowboy, A40 and a couple of spooks are going in the indoor test facility this afternoon. Kinda nice to have access to a Olympic size swimming pool on winter days.

i'm perfecting the fine art of completely screwing up nice looking plugs in the final stage.

it was sweet til i got greedy and tried one more coat of clear after waiting too long between coats.
the fresh stuff attacked everything that had already started to set up

is the yellow oil base and the orange something else? I remember having that happen with a base color and a black over spray. AT the time I got pissed and wiped it off so I don't remember the combination of paints. Now I wish I could replicate it....
