Really Like the Candy Lime over the Marrakesh Red, that would make a rerally nice egg sucking leech pattern here for jigging steelhead. The Candy orange over the gold vein is still my favorite. Someday I will have to get those colors and see if mine turn out even close.

Do you cure between coatings?

I may have to clean the bottom of my bucket and see what color I get out of the numerous ones down there.

It was actually CrappieHappy that helped me get the best result, per his suggestion I heat the head a bit more than usual (a 5 count + on each side instead of a 4 count.) before dipping in the gold vein and then pass it over the heat several times to promote the best veining. Then a quick dip in the candy. The object of course is to get a thin candy coat to avoid "nipple-nose". The next time I paint some with that combination I'm going to let the veined head cool down completely then heat it up again just enough to get a light coat of candy. We'll see how that works.

Pepop, I like that idea of letting it cool completely and then reheating it. I may have try that. Start with the toaster oven for the initial coat and then heat with a candle just until it gets just hot enough to dip it again.

i double coat mine by dipping the under color, curing, letting it cool then dipping and curing again. i have never gottin a drip tis way and the colors don't run together during the cure near as much
