    stick on eyes

    Do the eyes go on before or after the epoxy? Also where do you buy the fabric to create the scale patterns on cranks?

    Before the epoxy! You want to cover the eye's completely with the epoxy so they don't fall off. You can use almost anything for scale's just keep your eye's on the look out. The bag's garlic clove's come in, veil material, mosquito netting, etc.

    Put them on before
    Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!

    Thanks. I bought some material at a fabric shop and the first time I used it didn't work at all. I think I put to much paint on. The second time it looked alot better but I thought there might be something made for that purpose. Oh well, I guess practice, practice, practice.
