    Uhgg when I was making the purchase I was indecisive about the original jb and the 5 min quik set 5 min set epoxy. I went with the syringe version as it seemed easier to handle and apply... So I get home and I was kinda inpatient and started my project before I let my car cool down completely (my project was to fix a broken off inlet hose piece of plastic on my thermostat housing which is plastic) so the car was still very much warm as was the piece to repair, I followed all instructions applied it, and NOTHING, it will not turn into the gel state it just stayed syrup consistency it wouldn't even hold itself together, so I scrapped the whole thing removed all of the kb weld and sanded the two pieces and started over when the car was cooled, still nothing I thought I didn't mix enough so I thoroughly mixed the jb weld and tried again ... Still nothing .... Waited over night and tried again and by this point I'm severely disturbed that this is not working for me, as I need my vehicle and I have place I need to go. And that's where I am at at this point just stuck on what to do. WHY WILL THIS STUFF NOT WORK FOR ME????;ANYBODY? IM GOING INSANE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT

    I’ve been on the search for a mirror chrome for lures. There are a LOT of “chrome “ paints that end up more like polished aluminum. There is a product from Despaie that is a refill for marker pens. 10 ml used in an airbrush. It gives very, very close to a true mirror chrome. You can easily see reflections in it. As others have noted here, most coatings tend to dull the shine. I am going to try different ones today. Without coatings the chrome quickly wears off on lures The base finish is critical. Unless the base is hard and super smooth you’ll probably not get good results. Helps if the base is very high gloss black. I suspect you’ll never get true mirror chrome on a wood base unless you coat it with epoxy, varnish, etc. before applying the chrome paint

    Hi Chris! Great video and thank you! Just to let you know there is a tool that is available from Whitetail Fly Tying Supplies in Chapel Hill, NC. They have a very extensive fly material selection plus the best deer hair I've ever found. The sitter they sell will do full skins and is safe and adjustable for width. Whitetail was started by the famous tyer Chris Helm who has sadly passed on. They are still carrying on the buisiness. Hope this is helpful to anyone wanting to slit their own hides.

    Mineral oil and Vaseline are petroleum distilates. They are hydrocarbons, meaning they are comprised of hydrogen and carbon. They are pollutants. Naturally occurring fats found in nuts and plants, like coconut oil, shea butter, etc., are triglycerides. Triglycerides are esters of Coconut oil is primarily composed of triglycerides, which are esters of fatty acids and glycerol. Triglycerides are organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but they are not considered hydrocarbons because they also contain oxygen atoms. Hydrocarbons, on the other hand, consist only of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Triglycerides are necessary for life and fish can ingest them safely. If you make your own floatant use a triglyceride like cocoa butter, coconut oil, shea butter, etc. You can mix it with beeswax until you get the consistency you prefer.

  • @guyondotteoreilly4355
    @guyondotteoreilly4355 5 місяців тому

    Don’t use petroleum distillates in fresh water and protected waters! Vaseline and mineral oil are petroleum distillates! It’s pollution, it kills fish, it creates “slicks” fish can see, and you face a hefty fine and risk seizure of your gear for polluting. If you’re going to use an oil base, then use a plant or nut-based “butter,” not a petroleum product or a petroleum blend.

    Bleach is a base not an acid. Baking soda will NOT neutralize a base. It is also a base. You are just stopping the bleach with the clean water. Skip the baking soda and just rinse the feathers in clean water.

    That mixing gets poor precision whereas it is really matter for getting a decent hardness. A proper way would be putting a cup on scale and measure the ratio precisely by pouring components with syringe. That would mean you need to find density first. And sometimes you would need to find exact ratio that gives max hardness by making few samples varying components by 5% as 1:1 by volume is not always the best one. And might be important to shake A and B bottles to make them uniform before measure. And waiting longer before demoulding also may be important for max hardness.

    Diamond -2 is my favorite finish. But I using this finish only for best projects. Other different finish I know too. Flex Coat is very good. Then in my rating probably Rod Dancer finish. And then may be Pro Cote. But, Pro Cote is like a rock. I literally treated it with abrasive the next day and it was very good for that. Pro Cote really strong. I completely forgot about the Japanese Toho finish. For now I'm only saving it for better times. It seems the TOHO finish should be unbeatable.
