Have you tested to see if it leaves a residue behind that might interfere with your clear coat? Seen that happen a few times and boy does it suck!

Won't the fish get used to the same pattern and know it is a plug?  Nice work and original too. |

the one that I've finished is twirling now, no issues...no silicone in this product(latex, water, ammonia), and it's doesn't touch the plug while it is curing because it is covered w/tape, the ammonia could eat into a previous coat possibly but they don't come in contact when you are laying it out...I could see that a silicone product would definitely be a culprit if you stuck it on your plug in a similar manner, that stuff seems to leave residue even after it is cured.... I've used this latex for masking for years and never had any problem with adhesion over the masked areas and subsequent coats... |

finishing up
a couple of pics to finish up, remember if you want to try this to put a little powder on the latex before pulling it off of the plug so that it won't stick to itself, I might try Saran wrap to wrap the body instead of tape next time, in the pic I used the back end of an airbrush needle to spread the latex and lastly...the result...ready to fish! I also really need to thank George from Left Hook for the sweet Trophy Hunter bodies that he sent me to paint....

Excellent. Thanks. I may have to give this stuff a try. Awesome idea and I think that plug looks awesome. |
