I'm bringing some kindling for you all to burn.... Cleared at noon today. Just came home to find the spinner had STB.....lots of runs in the epoxy. The whole lot of them looks like crap to me. I'll see if I can salvage the finish tomorrow if they're hardened up enough.

trust me , there will be more , - eventually
I made 3 this time, 1 is already gone, another spoken for. I was bummed I only had 3, but I will make up for that. The other page that had 3 more bruins on it , the color yellow/gold came out kind of off so I used the good ones for now. Once I get more of that transfer paper, i will make more.

I'll hold that one for you. good eye

Those are awesome! I don't know if doing the transfer is difficult, but you make them look perfect.

"Once I get more of that transfer paper, i will make more."

Slip if you need some I can bring some tomorrow, it's the Testor's water slide stuff.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

it's hard with compound curves as they don't stretch, also it's tough positioning you have to be careful not to crinkle

Just do what I do when things get effed up(which is often) and add lots of glitter. After that you can just tell everyone that's the way you designed them...I'll be there tomorrow with a big box of glitter plugs in hand for the unsuspecting

LOL. Mike and I discussed this one day. It's my MO too. If you see glitter on my plugs you know I had a bad day of epoxy, although i am starting to like some glitter on some plugs at this point. Been conditioned to seeing it, growing on me.

Ross Sand the crap out of them and fish them. Get used to disappointment it is part of the game.

Heck that was the whammy I put on Numbskull for withholding info from me, spinner motor seize when he left them alone but he probably has been watching them 24 / 7 this week claiming acute last minute epoxy paranoia, a real malady I'm told.

Some may consider a plug for the Plug Project, which will be on display tomorrow. As will one other item not seen in nearly a decade
