3 Minute Thursday PLUS Bonus Tip: CLEARCOATING JOINTED BAITS! (Featuring the Baby Bull Shad)

[@joshkeesling2928]

Your attitude is why I keep watching your bait channel. I have learned alot on bait painting and I think I'm getting better. Like you said everything takes hard work and that's what I'm continuing to do with my baits. Thanks for the help along the way with your videos.

[@trainwrecker72]

Appreciate everything you do I'm a painter from the Great Lakes region and have been painting heavily for the last 3 years and with your tips and tricks have become a better painter so to you I say thanks a million .

[@reynojam]

Hit the nail right on the head. No better satisfaction than seeing the lures you have created catch fish. I give them out to friends and family and love getting the feedback. I would like to thank you for the tips and tricks segments as they have helped me tremendously.

[@thomasdurkin8719]

Just went back to watch one of your early videos from when you were first started making the hard baits. My how the shop has changed! Thank you for the inspiration.

[@toddfullerton3930]

You are the best. Anytime someone asks me about airbrushing I always refer them to you. I have been meaning to drop a email to KBS Coatings telling them they need to sponsor you. If not for you I would of never tried their product. Thanks again.

[@tylertruman6078]

I've been watching your videos for a long time, and I continue to look forward to them. You have been a major inspiration for why I've started painting baits. Through these videos you've taught me to never give up on a bait, and more importantly, have fun. I hope you continue this for many years to come. Tight lines!!!

[@Jekyll424]

Means more than you know. Cheers!

[@stripermanly]

Like that color pattern

[@jackmccracken9264]

I really enjoy watching your videos and channel because you have a great way of explaining how to do things thank you very much

[@williammitchell9300]

Hey Jen I love watching your Videos and learn so much from you. I am just starting to get into airbrushing, but before I go on this Journey I will watch a few more Videos on how to do this. I love Fishing and make my own Soft plastic baits and had a company called Baits On The Bay. Then I got Cancer and it put me in a Wheel Chair where I can't do to much. But I am into the Bible and it helped me a whole lot Serving the Lord. Now I want to move from where I'm at to the Eastern Shore Maryland on the water . Then maybe I can start Fishing again Amen. Keep up the Good work Girl. Keep those Lines tight and see you on the next one.

Hello Jeckyll , it's a pleasure to greet you. asks what clear do you use? I have bought my own airbrush to paint my lures and I am grateful to you for sharing the videos, thank you very much 🤗

[@Jekyll424]

Tamco

[@marcuspiera]

Thanks for great videos.. highly inspirational. Please do a video on basic createx colours to start out with.

[@timpaterson5154]

Thank you for being so informative and willing to share information. I was wondering what airbrush would you recommend for someone who is just starting out. I am wanting to make my own lures as a hobby. Thank you in advance.

[@terribleatfishing]

YOu make me feel good. I will be starting my bait painting next week , nervous....thank you

[@envylures5770]

You are just awesome !!! Happy vibes yo 😎👍

[@parrothead5977]

Mailing you a little gift pac tomorrow. As a thankyou for your inspiration. Was also hoping to get a sticker of yours to post in my work area.or any others your over stoked with cloistering your shop🤪 thanks love the vids keep them coming. Oh and it’s funny how I get a thrill from being your first like on a vid😃

[@parrothead5977]

Didn’t pre read this before I sent sounds a bit dopy sorry. But you get it 🤪

[@nateplattner4250]

Clean the brush or toss it afterwards? Do you buy that style in bulk?

[@tritonb1]

Do you go back ever and apply more coats or is doing it once enough? If you do go back, how long do you wait? Also how long before you use them?

[@Jekyll424]

yes I do. If it's KBS I wait about 10-14 days before using (or selling/shipping) I love it but it takes a bit to cure. I spray Tamco 2K on larger swimbaits and that's much faster (1-2 days)

[@alanscustomlures9922]

I use epoxy for all my baits buy doing swimbaits soon. How long do you wait in between coats of KBS?

[@dannymorgan2061]

What do you think about spraying kbs on , just curious.

[@jasonholland2779]

Hey I'm about to try brushing kbs on my first swimbait, is one coat enough or is it like dipping where I do 2 coats? Aldo if brushing extra coats, would doing a 3rd coat on the bottom help with hook rash?

[@Jekyll424]

Swimbaits generally take a beating harder. Bigger fish, harder impact from bites. Brush THREE coats, 24 hours apart, cure (leave hanging) for 4-7 days depending on humidity and conditions. Keep checking for drips and pooling. KBS is self leveling, but 3 coats can create a bit of drip if you’re not mindful of it.

[@jasonholland2779]

@@Jekyll424 thank you!

[@fishinwj.v.5542]

Nice work! Just wondering how long do you let the 1st coat dry before you apply thr 2nd?

[@Jekyll424]

6-8 hours

[@joyadams6885]

I was wondering which filter replacement do you use with the respirator you have linked in your description? I checked and there is 6 that they show goes with the respirator.

[@joyadams6885]

@@Jekyll424 I found them on Amazon, I just didn't know which one is the right one to use for what we do. Thank you!!!!

[@michaelross5674]

Is the kbs clear coat good... or is the uvls createx clear coat better ... I need a clear coat don't know what to get...also is kbs #1thinner good to thin kbs down to use in airbrush.... have you ever tried that???

[@Jekyll424]

The UVLS seems to be the most popular choice these days. As far as thinning, I have used KBS, and more recently, Tamco through a gun, but not the same gun I shoot paint through. If it’s at all possible to use a separate airbrush, I recommend it. If not, make sure you’re cleaning it well after clearing with it.

[@mikelepori707]

If you paint in the joint so that it matches the rest of the bait, won’t the water eventually discolor the paint in between the joint since you do t clear coat in between joint? Did my first one and came out really good but joint gummed up a little when I brushed clear in joint. I like painting in between but maybe I should just leave it without paint? What are your thoughts? Great video and channel!!!

[@metrostate4683]

Can’t wait for my ultimate gill pattern order

[@Jekyll424]

Sooo close! 🙂

[@whitefishbay43]

Do you clean your brush or throw away if you clean what do you use ?

[@Jekyll424]

Brushes for clearcoat are single use. The bulk buy pack of flats at Walmart are decent enough to use for this. 🙂

[@fishingwithhoffman7365]

If you dont get the paint covered inside where the joints are. Won't the paint come off?

[@Jekyll424]

You can carefully brush over the edge but don’t get it on or inside the joints

[@Fishing-gs9ku]

Have you ever sprayed kbs in your gun? Or tried their rattle can version?

[@Jekyll424]

Their aerosol is great. Don't ever spray clearcoat through your airbrush. That will end badly 😢

[@The-Host]

6:57 is what you came for. so you dont have to listen to the magpie for an hour. Edit: it's still like trying to strangle horse waiting for the actual lesson tho. Be patient.
