I use the same loop you are using when spraying scales.. I found that I can place a wrag or dish towel folded up on the table then put the blank on top of towel... it raises the blank up high enough that when I put the loop over the blank it gives it a very tight seal..
hi whit! very nice work on all your baits! question for you. do you have your needle backed out some to limit the amount of paint you're getting. watching your videos it seems like you get a lot of air flow but very little paint. rick
