I show from start to finish how to vacuum form your own stencils so that you can use them for custom painting crankbaits. Use them to make a crawfish pattern, strips, spots, or whatever! After the video visit my video on How to Paint a Crawfish pattern and see these stencils put to use. Here is the link to How to Paint a Crawfish Pattern • How to Paint a Crawfis...

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

@lrparrish227 7 лет назад

I was a pilot for 30 yrs but now my favorite hobby is fishing. I have a ranger boat and really enjoy making the lures. I am new at the lure making and really appreciate you detail, time and awesome videos. Thanks so much!

@luremeincustompaintedcrank3818 7 лет назад

Email me with any questions about lure painting! I'd be happy to help

You made that... That is amazing... I'm going to try making one of these vacuum things... I'm just getting started and I lucked up on your videos...

@crab2323 8 лет назад

Great video as always

@ronwhitman5995 6 лет назад

I love your work. Great videos, have given me several ideas already. One thing on the vacuum part for the stencils...try heating up the material first and once it starts to soften then turn on the vacuum...should help prevent the wrinkles. I am just getting started in this hobby and yours has been some of the most that I have watched, so thank you.

Most excellent

@mikelittle6530 3 года назад

After cutting the baits in half I backfill the halves with Milliputt Putty and allow it to dry rock hard to prevent the baits from heat warping while creating the stencils. You can use those baits over and over for making stencils without heat warping. As a result, the stencils are more form fitting and the Milliputt warms as well allowing you to pick up more detail of the baits in the plastic stencil material.

@areddfishing7473 5 лет назад

could you do this with a already painted bait?

@billbarber9424 6 лет назад

Love your videos! They really help newbies like me get started. I started out using enviortex lite epoxy with a drying wheel and love the results, but am intrigued with your use of KBS Diamond clear and the ability to hang dry with wires to prevent puddling at end of lure.... unfortunately I have a quart of envirotex and need to use it up. Have you successfully tried using the same hanging method with envrotex ?

@luremeincustompaintedcrank3818 6 лет назад

Bill Barber I haven't but I think it will run and not dry evenly

@maninthewoods 5 лет назад

Would you be able to just do a whole lure instead of cutting it in half? You would just have to cut down the center of the back of the lure.

@hillbillybassfisherman8181 7 лет назад

I enjoy doing this just something to do...I seen china custom painting these lures now for 3 bucks

@fishingwithhoffman7365 3 года назад

@SplishSplashFishing 8 лет назад

A super nice and helpfull video - I'm already making plans for my own vacuumbox. Could you supply me with a link to the plastic sheets from Ebay you use, or just the exact thing to search fore. Thanks

@saintsfisherman 7 лет назад

do/ can you use the same template forever or do you reach a point where the paint build up is too much? And if yes, is there a way to clean the thin plastic template? Is there a chemical that is too much for it? Would acetone eat through it or warp it? Thank you so much for this video. This is going to be much much much easier than cutting out new paper templates for each and every lure that I carve. Wow thank you!!!

@luremeincustompaintedcrank3818 7 лет назад

saintsfisherman you can use them over and over. That's the beauty of stencils.

@antonio999us 8 лет назад

Hello Mike, It's me again, you gave me the idea to do some stencils for painting my Balsa plugs too. I know they are similar one to the other (after carving and shaping the wood), but they are not exactly the same (as plastic ones). I think I can try this method. Definitively the use of stencils can make your life a little easier when painting some details... Would you please tell me what kind of plastic sheet are you using, and where did you get them? I know, that here in Lima, I will have to look for something similar, but your tips will be very useful for me. Thanks a lot, Antonio

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

I use 20mil PETG plastic stencil sheets I found on EBay.

@antonio999us 8 лет назад

Thank you again Mike .. I will look for some of those plastic sheets and try to do stencils taht works with my wooden plugs.

@woodmasterran9528 8 лет назад

What HP do you run on the 1.6 gallon California Air - I am looking at the 1/ HP - 2 gallon tank and the 1 hp - 6.3 gallon tank - i don't know what the difference in the noise level would be between a 1/2 HP and a 1 HP (they say 4 db) - but I like the idea of a bigger tank. I have a little Badger 180-11 which I have struggled with and I have couple bigger compressors from DeWalt and Bostich but they are too loud. My thought is the bigger tank compressor will not kick on as much - I just don't know if the 4 db in sound level will make much of a difference. Any thoughts?

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

I have the California Air Tools Ultra Quiet compressor. Not sure the motor size but I'm happy with it

@chuckmorris2216 8 лет назад

does it matter what size holes you drill and the spacing for it? Also, Im having a problem with warping the lure from the heat... Im trying to get the plastic to mold tightly. Im using a round cookie tin that Ive drilled holes in.. Could it be Ive drilled holes that are too big, or not enough holes to have the shop vac properly lock down the heated plastic? Thanks and thanks so much for the videos.

@luremeincustompaintedcrank3818 8 лет назад

+Chuck Morris I wouldn't drill too large of holes. There are a lot of videos on RU-vid that show how a vacuum forming box is made. But smaller holes are recommended. Regarding the warping, it means you have the heat on the lure too long. Ideally you want to heat the stencil sheet first prior to laying it on the bait. When you lay the stencil on the bait you may have to apply a little more heat to get a better shape but don't keep it on too long or else it will warp your bait.

@chuckmorris2216 8 лет назад

+Lure Me In Custom Painted Crankbaits I have watched some of the videos using tin boxes.. Frankly I think the tin isnt sturdy enough.. I like the box you made with out of wood. Just went and got the supplies for it today. Your videos are very thorough and great to watch. I use the iwata HP BR brush as recommended by another person. I like the airbrush you use with the mac valve and needle stop and am thinking about ordering one. Have you used the HP BR and if so is there much difference in the quality vs the HP CP that you use? I have spent alot of money the past 2 weeks on getting set up and dont really want to spend the additional on that airbrush if its not a big difference in quality painting... Sorry about all the questions but I could probably ask you a hundred of them. Thank you for such a quick reply to the box question

@Realbilly25 5 лет назад

Hey Micheal enjoyed your video!! Do you know what size dremel bit you used?

@luremeincustompaintedcrank3818 5 лет назад

Realbilly25 it’s a small etching bit I got at Home Depot

@johnnydavis7261 8 лет назад

would you do a video on your work station? Do you have clip on lights ? I have used a poster board, like science fair displays, taped to a small table . I always feel too crowded and always need more light.

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

I went to Home Depot and got some 1/4 inch plywood and it's 3 1/2 feet wide and 24 inches tall. I bought a bathroom ventilation fan to draw out paint overspray. The lighting are just two LED desk lamps from Target

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

I painted the inside of the booth white so light reflects better

@PRACERZ 8 лет назад

Fantastic vids, thank you very much ! One question for you on the grappie painting vid, you cleared by brush instead of spraying, why ?

@luremeincustompaintedcrank3818 8 лет назад

+PRACERZ You can't spray epoxy because there is no way to clean it. Epoxy will set up withing 8 min.. Not water based at all..

@davidparty9695 8 лет назад

Can you do the neon crappies

@woodmasterran9528 8 лет назад

Great videos - could you tell me what type of compressor you are using

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

California Air Tools Ultra Quiet.

@woodmasterran9528 8 лет назад

Thanks, what size tank?

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

+Woodmaster Ran 1.6gal

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

+Woodmaster Ran got at www.chicagoairbrushsupply.com

@workinginreverse 8 лет назад

What kind of air compressor do you use? I'm looking to start but that has been the hardest decision.

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

A California Air Tools Ultra Quiet. 1.6 gal tank

@workinginreverse 8 лет назад

+Michael Orensteen do you think having a tank is better apposed to to the smaller compressors without tanks?

@michaelorensteen6773 8 лет назад

+Dakota Ellis definitely a tank if you can afford it. Quieter cuz the compressor only runs when tank air falls below a certain level

@cattaraugustonawanda4426 6 лет назад

I can't understand what you called the plastic sheet you thermoform. What is the plastic material?

@luremeincustompaintedcrank3818 6 лет назад

J Mc it’s PETG 20 mil plastic stencil sheets. Find them on eBay

@cattaraugustonawanda4426 6 лет назад

Thanks! Your videos are excellent ! Your speaking voice is usually very clear but I have hearing loss. Thanks for your efforts !

@albionMurv 8 лет назад

I was having trouble with 1.5 bodies warping under too much heat, and the way I found to remedy the problem was to take a small part of paper towel wet it, and stuff it in the 1.5 body half,,,,I haven't had any deformed bodies, and it doesn't affect the stencil making process.

@luremeincustompaintedcrank3818 8 лет назад

Thanks for the tip! I've had the same issue!

@albionMurv 8 лет назад

Youre welcome hope that helps
