Hey, I have some A.C. Plugs that I had a guy custom airbrush for me. I had to purchase some Swimbait tails in trout pattern to put on after they were painted. Well...Now I know why they had the plastic in there. It has a chemical reaction with the paint and starts to melt. Does anyone have any tips for me to stop this from happening? Should I put some of my rodbuilding epoxy in the gap so that it dosen't come in contact with the paint? These are some sweet lookin lures, I even had him paint a couple of my saltwater surface lures also. I'll post some pics as soon as I get this problem worked out....Any help would be appreciated.....Warren
