BestNetManAround Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Hey guys posted this up on another local site I belong to figured I would post it here too. Well after seeing the finished product I figured I would look it up and see how bad it was to try this. So here it is Step 1. Find a finsihed look that best suits the bait fish you wish to have on your newly skinned bait Step 2. It takes some trial and error on this part re-size the image and dry fit it to your bait Step 3. For a cooler more flash finish I ellected to use plain white tissue paper for my prints You accomplish this my gluing the ends of the tissue paper to the coners of a sheet of paper so it can go through your inkjet printers. Step 4. After you Print this out on the tissue paper remove from the regular paper and you are left with a translusent skin Step 5. After removing the tissue paper print from the sheet of paper attach this to a sheet of foil with a Spray Adheasive then Cut out what you will be using and attach this again with spray adheasive or foil tape. Once you get the look you wish to have you are ready to epoxy the bait with a clear epoxy I'll be adding pics of this as soon as I complete this step ;D Quote
