That was my first thought, LOOK AT THOSE WING NUTS!!!

A pleasure as always. This is def in my top 2 favorite baitmakers! Franco and obviously Marling are my 1 & 2! Great work as always! Very informative

Speks and reds are gonna love that thing. I’d fish that under a popping cork down here in Louisiana.

That looks awesome!

New toys!!!

I use a lot of two part epoxy, building rods. Like you, I am a little ocd about some things, bubbles are one of them. I have found the best shaped stirrer to be, an elongated teardrop. I snap the bristle end off those cheap little plastic kids artists brushes, and remove the aluminum housing….that gives you a nice rounded stir stick that tapers up to your hand. Using the pointed back end of those brushes that taper Down, into almost a point, seem to pull air in and creates far more bubbles than using an upward tapered stirrer. Anything uniform….flat, round, square,etc…seem to pull air in. Anyway that is my personal observation after, what feels like, hundreds of hours stirring and degassing epoxy. You may have an instrument at NASA that reads the bubble ratio, in a mixer, but….the previous owners of my house and garage, apparently didn’t think that that was a worthwhile, enough, selling point, to install one. ….so observation is all I have 🙄

I can’t be the only one who always thinks of that one scene in finding nemo if I hear or read the word bubbles The scene with the treasure chest opening and bubbles coming out and then the fish yelling:”MY BUBBLES”😅

Nice! Thank you for answering my question, happy to see that even thin lips work and now I don't have to worry since the one on my lure is really bulky from factory, it's just how they make them.

You do great work great tips

Interesting stuff Franco - Thanks for sharing! I like the QOW, details are always good and more is better! Cheers!

Man that seems like a great deal. Might have to get one for my tail molds in the future.

Great video as always! I believe I will be purchasing a pressure pot soon!

I know I'm sad and it really doesn't matter, but I kind of wish you'd do your voice edits in the workshop so it sounds less weird. Always love the content though, as ever

Heisenberg!

Thanks Franco, When you mix resin the first time as test you said: "do not mix with a wood stick, use steel or plastic", why? Thanks so much again

I bet you could make a nice lipless crankbait with this technique. A clear, silent, lipless crank would be awesome for the spooky trout in the gin clear water I fish.

I'd like to know if it's possible to make a diy version of Berkley Gulp saltwater soft plastics if you have molds. The biodegradable part and the scent might be too hard.

How do i make or where can i buy a uv lure turner like yours?? thanks

A shrimp imitation that goes backwards and flexes like a real shrimp would be cool

You’re going to need a bigger shop if you continue to get more toys.

Where are the little shrunk bubbles? Gas dissolves in epoxy like soda

I use alot of resin, why don't you use wood to stir?
