EPOXY VULCAN :
I have had Several E-Mail Requests and Kind Comments on my Epoxy Novelty Patterns. These Are not Difficult at All. And those who wish to Create there own Special Pattern. Here is An Easy One For you to Create and get the Hang of it.
The Vulcan In the Images is not even Using "Clear" Epoxy but just Normal Epoxy that Go's slightly Milky in Colour.
But Once your Creation Is Finally Built. Leave it For a Good Few Days to Harden Completely. Happy Building.
EPOXY VULCAN BUILD (By Leon Guthrie)
Build 1.
Hook: Kamasan B830 Size 8
Head: 3.3mm Gold Tungsten Bead
Tail: Marabou (Any Colour You Want)
Body: Any Thread Build Up Almost Level With Height of Bead
Build 2.
Mix Epoxy And Place Only on BACK. And Sit on a piece of Freezer Bag Polythene
Wait Until Completely Set.
Build 3.
Draw Shape of the Vulcan Delta Wings and The Ailerons as in Photo Image
Build 4.
Mix More Epoxy and Only Cover Wings as Shown in Image. It does not Matter if you go over the lines etc..or make any mistakes as these can be corrected later with Sharp
Model Knife or Apply other Epoxy to Repair Area’s That Require Some More Epoxy.
Note: You Must leave the Vulcan Alone now for 24 hours and Completely Hard.
Build 5.
Now Mix More Epoxy and Only Apply to the Make the Ailerons. Make Slightly Larger over the Guide Lines You can Trim These Straight Later.
Build 6.
Wait Until Ailerons are Set to the Touch and feel quite Hard. Then you can Carefully Take the Vulcan Off the Polythene Sheet (Without Tearing the Semi Set Ailerons) If in Doubt, Wait A little longer as you will still be able to bend the Ailerons to the Required Elevation. As in the Photo Image.
When you are Satisfied the Ailerons Are Set and Shaped as Required. Then Mix More
Epoxy and Build this on to take the Flat Surface Away as it had been sitting on the flat Polythene Sheet. You will Just have to Judge Where to Build Up the Shape and Contours of the Vulcan.
Build 7.
The Finished Epoxy Vulcan. Painted with Enamel Paint with Whatever Colour or Combination of Colours you Require.
Note: Because of the Weighted Head and Position of the Ailerons. A Sink And Draw Retrieve is Employed. As The Vulcan Sinks Each Time it will Create a Crashing Wiggling Decent. So Use Your Pilot Skills. Also a Fast Retrieve Will Produce this Erratic Movement. The Length of The Marabou Protruding From the Rear is Measured at 2” And there is no Difficulty In Large Double Figure Trout and Salmon
Taking this Down It’s GOB!
