Put Lac Seul on your bucket list. I fished it twice in the 90s and didn't catch a muskie, but the potential of a monster is there. It's very wild and remote. You could convince yourself that you're the first human to see a particular bay of the lake, but, of course, that's not true.

I have a 2 question for you Do you have to clean the fish blank with lacquer thinner and then prime the fish? Or just the epoxy scalp areas ? And you said you use lacquer base paints for your antiquing. Then you used the white on the belly then went back to putting black on the back. Can you switch back and forth with the lacquer and acrylic paints? Thanks for doing these videos. They’re very informative.
@kstenzel20102 ай бұрын
Not a bad idea to get in the habit of cleaning a blank before painting, however have learned from experience that the lake county blanks come clean & ready to go. And mixing lacquer and acrylics have not given me any problems as long as previous layer of paint is completely dry.
