Plan B I cut and drilled blanks for short fat small spooks. There is a pic of a fish falling off one back on the main board somewhere.....May still be yellow, must consult with the color master....

no,
we'll go over this one more time.

22 guys = 22 plugs, one goes to the boss and the 21 remaining plugs go to the other 21 guys in on the swap.
you don't get one of your own back.

now 23 plugs as of 11-23-05

Usually all colors are the same. Makes it easier for Tobias to "divy up". He is going to have his hands full as it is. Believe me I know.

Just a thought but you may want to put all the info for this swap in the 1st entry of this thread, along with the list of participants. that way if people have any questions they can just go there instead of picking through all of the entries trying to get the right answer....it may cut down on the confusion.

You could also put down what plug each builder is making next to his name, that way not only can you keep track of what's being built, Some people who are still deciding on what to make can look at the list and get some ideas as to what's being made. (i.e. hmmm i see a lot of needles but I don't see any surfsters, maybe I'll make some of those.)

Just some suggestions

I picked up the wood last night and will start "Turnin' and Burnin'" this weekend.

My plan is to have all of them Spun, Sanded, Weighted, and Sealed by the end of the month....Then I can get them painted and epoxied after Xmas.

The more the merrier. The hole is already too deep what the hell. I just keep thinking I am going to get 20 some odd awesome plugs and that is a cool thought. I will be able to open up a tackle shop. Paul

Mommy I'm scared.......... Seems I have the dreaded epoxy adhesion problem with a few of my plugs, not all but 1 is too many as far as I am concerned with 23 to build I need to rectify what the hell is going on

Paul,

What is your process?

Sealer?
Paint?
Clear?

Are you getting fish eyes or bumpy finish?

Make sure your hands are clean , wipe plug down with denatured alcahol , make sure to scuff , and make sure e-tex is warm and mixed well .
Good luck .

Denatured alcohol. That will not hurt the paint? Do you put a coat of clear over the paint and then scuff with a scotchbrite pad or just scuff the paint and then clean with den. alcohol. I think am contaminating the plug. Thanks Paul

epoxy will avoid the smallest dust particle for some reason .. Ya would think it would just incase it .. Eating fried chicken for dinner then handling your plugs a definate no no ..
