Even in these older videos, you can see that Krevassi style developing and blossoming like a beautiful flower. That amazing and unique bait painting style that is wonderfully your own and looks INCREDIBLE. I hope one day to be able to have a Jen Kravassi original in my lure collection. My God Jen-- please keep doing what you're doing and making these lures. You really are amazing. One of my fave KZbin creators for sure-- SO inspiring and I learn so much. You're such a huge talent.

[@springermike9846]

Always awesome. Looking forward to the new ventures content

[@scottsasanecki4106]

Great video. THank you much for your clear step by step instruction. You do awesome work. God bless you

[@magcolor]

Thank you so much for the detailed sessions and happy New year!!!

[@sjammer]

Would love to see a pop max video or at least a tutorial on clear coating a pop max blank. I want to paint some but am stumped on a good clear coat process. Loved this video and the gold copper mix you used.

[@charlesjones257]

just getting started in the hobby and i watch numerous videos daily. it would be helpful if a pic of the finished product was in the corner to see where we are headed during the whole process.

[@rumenstanev7747]

I like to rotate the bait manual for a minute.That way I'm distribute the clear coat.And that is the pill anti bill-blisters.At least it is working for mi.

[@xx-lz7ic]

I was an airbrush artist for years,used createx alot.To clean my brushes out,I never bought their cleaner,I just used windex,it's cheaper and does the same thing.Hope this helps you out.

[@jacobspassons5249]

xx That’s why i always think like does it matter what cleaner you use wouldn’t windex work just as good

[@jimscoggins1526]

Spot on, as usual Jen!' Thanks for sharing!!

[@widkmmyoga764]

Beautiful bait greetings from the fishing team LunduSquad Indonesia. I learned a lot from you how to color a very beautiful bait. thanks.

[@thatsmallrockshop]

I just had a thought. For the splatter pattern. I wonder if it would work to saturate a q tip in a bit of paint. And just use the airbrush dry to shoot blasts of air onto the q tip to splatter paint on the bait.

[@paulcotesr5623]

I would like to see a ebook on on pattern that be sprayed and how to ty

[@garygilbert2168]

Hi Jen love the channel I’ve tried the dinger website but cant seem to find the.littlejohn bodies ... is there another source Thanks

[@rumenstanev7747]

Thanks,Jane!

[@xx-lz7ic]

great videos

[@Jekyll424]

Thanks!

[@GingerAle383]

thank you

[@envylures5770]

🤓 I cant stop watching ..... 🤣😂

[@Jekyll424]

Lol. Thanks for watching. 😘🐟🎨

[@shanebeard296]

Hi Jen. I noticed You don't reduce that createx paint? What size is your needle/nozzle? I have the Iwata hp/cs (.35mm) and I find I have to thin the paint a good bit. Any tips? It would save a lot of time if I didn't have to reduce them.

[@Jekyll424]

Base colors at a higher pressure

[@lollermaniac144]

Enjoy your videos - they have helped me improve my painting. I do have a couple of questions: when you add a different color paint to your airbrush without cleaning it, doesn't the paint blend into a different color than what you originally planned? Also, have you done a video that would show how you fix the errors, dings, splatters, etc. that show up occasionally (at least for me). Thanks.

[@Jekyll424]

I haven’t done a specific video on correcting mistakes, but there are several videos that touch on that and how you fix them during the process. I can add the topic in to my list of to dos for you 🙂 Regarding the paint, I add in paint once the chamber bottom is empty. Generally anything left over in stuck on the sides. You’ll notice I press that trigger down a couple times off to the side (or on scrap paper) to make sure the previous color is gone. I also usually work from light colors to darker colors on a lure, so that any transition is less obvious. Also makes for a better blend when you’re doing a fade on a bait (like pearl white belly up to moss green top, as an example) 🙂 Hope that helps explain it

[@jaydevenport7927]

Can you repaint over a chrome bait, like the cotton Cordell?

[@Jekyll424]

Yes

[@larryaboles1493]

Hi Jan, spending a few more hours with you. Got a question.......how would you clear coat a multi-jointed swimbait? Thanks a bunch and KEEP ON ROCKING THE BRUSH!!

[@Jekyll424]

For Multi jointed Baits I use an artist paint brush and brush it on

[@jamiemunroefishing]

Can you tell me the exact amazon stensil or wrap you used on this bait? I clicked the links but it doesn’t actually show what one you used. Tha ks so much!! Just started painting baiys and you are my go to painter to get tips from!!!

[@thatsmallrockshop]

If you let the tip plug up a bit. It makes for a really nice random splatter pattern.

[@phillipimsdahl3563]

Thanks in my estimation you are a very good teacher can you please tell me how long after I heat set can I dip do you worry about the paint or or if it is a wooden lure body it not being dry enough?

[@Jekyll424]

I do not work with wood unless it is a custom repaint. But I think you should wait 30 minutes or so

[@kalamidazkalamidaz2908]

Buen trabajo, alguien podría decirme que es el último producto?... GRACIAS.

[@bryanwright9221]

What air brush do you mostly use , and needle size ??

[@philiptomarchio9098]

What are your thoughts on double dipping (dip once let dry...drip a second time) the clear coat?

[@Jekyll424]

Definitely! I do that frequently

[@thatsmallrockshop]

My house is dryier than a popcorn fart. Candles split it half around the wick. Ive noticed my baits dry extremely fast.

[@Jekyll424]

Lolol!!

[@smackedupbaits6862]

Love your videos! I learn so much by listening to your procedures! One really simple question, the bottle you use for you airbrush cleaner. Instead of using the large 32 oz bottle. Where did you get it or did you repurpose a bottle from something else? I am currently using the big bottle and would like to be able to have a smaller bottle such as yours. Thank you for your videos and the guidance. You are AWESOME

[@Jekyll424]

It’s repurposed. An old US Airbrush Supply bottle.

[@walleye56789]

Very informative! What's the metallic baits next to the S Cranks on your work table?

[@scottsasanecki4106]

Love your stuff Jen. Congratulations on the move cross country. Question.....I noticed in this video you had prepped some foiled baits in the helping hands. Do you spray the back and belly with white or brush it on? It looked like there was no overspray so I was wondering? Blessings and Happy Thanksgivin

[@Jekyll424]

I do spray white on back and belly 🙂

[@Jekyll424]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@larrykelley1818]

How do you know what size of eyes to use, also what size of hooks and the split rings

[@timstroinski2088]

Hi, I am just starting with airbrushing my own lures. I was wondering where you got the lure holders? Ive seen the same one used by several people, but cant seem to find one. I like your videos by the way...

[@jacobspassons5249]

Tim Stroinski Look up helping hands soldering aid on amazon it’s like 8 bucks you can’t beat it

[@CastFromTheHip]

Looks good boss!

[@0oDouglaso01]

What is that on the bottle?

[@alphacustomwood]

parabens , magnifico trabalho

[@jeffbyrd2803]

Where do you buy your blanks . Hooks. Rings

[@cushionface09]

Can apple barrel paints be used in an airbrush or would I be wasting my time & money?

[@Jekyll424]

Thin them with reducer and mix them with airbrush colors. I use them, but they dry and crack on their own. They won’t shoot without reducing them. I use them as additives to stretch how far my normal paints last

[@cushionface09]

Thank you very much.I love your work you are a true artist. God bless.

[@llanda1968]

I see that you use airbrush paint and wicked ... But really which is the most recommended to paint the lure?

[@Jekyll424]

Luis, from my understanding, ComArt and Testors are both excellent. Wicked and Createx are great value and good. As long as you understand the thickness of each one, you can understand how to spray it

[@phillipimsdahl3563]

One more thing I just finished my first batch of eight lure made from balsa about half actually worked but I made on large bait and the first time I did any serious fishing with it I bounced it off some rocks and it cracked like an egg the whole lure has hairline cracks end to end KBS Coatings 8304 DiamondFinish Clear what did I do wrong?

[@Jekyll424]

I’m not sure. I’m not a balsa painter, any of you that are are welcome to give feedback here. I think many of them clearcoat and seal, then prime and seal then pattern paint and seal. Wood is super absorbent, but it could be other stuff as well... like how the holes were drilled for eyelets, ect...

[@bobcooper8307]

What brand of hook rings and ring pliers do you use?

[@Jekyll424]

Eagle Claw, VMC, KVD Mustad. Split Rings are from Barlow except upgrades, full range of higher end on request (Gama, Owner, Trokar)

[@geoffmayo2158]

Great job but I don't understand one step and everyone does it even me , painting the eye socket because the eyes do have a backing. I guess what I'm trying to say is they aren't translucent so why. I'm just curious

[@leonjnolte6338]

Hi. I am from South Africa. Would like to know what brand clear coat you use, I presume it is not a 2K

[@Jekyll424]

It’s called KBS Diamond Strength Clearcoat. An automotive industry clear. Thanks for watching bruh!

[@BPReefer]

Nice. You wouldn't happen to be steeljan that brews beer as well would you.

[@Jekyll424]

🤣🤣

[@BPReefer]

@@Jekyll424 Is that a yes?

[@raysammons814]

I see you do not thin out your paint it goes right into the spray gun. What type of spray gun are you using to do that.

[@Jekyll424]

Iwata Eclipse HPCS

[@reelunderground9643]

What compressor are you using here? I'm just starting off so I dont want to get anything too big right now. Love your work and your vids.

[@Jekyll424]

I use an 8 gallon California Air Tool compressor that’s normally off camera view. If space is a consideration then for right around $100, the best bang for your buck is definitely this small model. Very quiet compared to other compressors amzn.to/38cVdTu

[@kingtarty3412]

Hey what psi do u spray on?

[@Jekyll424]

30-35 on base layers, 10-12 on detailing 🙂

[@kingtarty3412]

Jekyll Productions thank you so much do u use thinner I just want to know how u get so much paint on there with out getting that wet paint where it gets drippy u know what I mean?

[@kingtarty3412]

By the way I loveeeee ur vids #1 fan🤣

[@Jekyll424]

Rarely use reducer unless I need really low pressure for very complex details

[@0590don]

What kind of ventilation do you have

[@Jekyll424]

Commercial grade ac/fan/dehumidifier that’s vented out a side sealed door

[@llanda1968]

ok friend but I want to buy a paint kit and do not know what? Another question that you paint as a base?

[@savaskayhan6373]

Kullandiniz vernik nedir..

[@TheDuckseason]

aaaahhh Sexy TIME :)

[@Jekyll424]

Lol u know it

[@sufferedenuf]

Sorry but I came to watch a video about a new twist on sexy shad. A 45 min video about airbrushing from start, including 5 minutes in and just covered taping the bill. I like many are on phones.

[@Jekyll424]

Totally understand that your time is valuable. That's why on all KZbin videos (mine included) you can skip through and fast forward to where you need to go. 🙂 I teach folks at all levels and do my best to try and include all of you. Hey thanks for watching and have a fantastic day. God bless 🙂
