About this deal

This Zuperpaint is enamel based. Until dry can be removed with white spirit or similar. Can be overcoated if necessary with clear lacquer to create a very hard wearing finish. Bought two for painting old floats . At 73 yrs my eyes are not as good as they used to be . These type of paints are not particularly cheap but with integral brush and the quality of paint its worth paying for. recommend that you use recorded or special delivery as we can not be liable for any loss or damage in transit. So you have all of your materials, the next thing to do is to cut a piece of Balsa between 4-5 inches long.

The next stage is the fun one, you get to colour in your float I will show you how I colour mine but you can be creative with your designs and colours. That's my take on it...Others will offer different solutions and may well disagree with mine. Many ways to skin a cat, as they say !!!

We will make every reasonable effort to deliver your products safely and in accordance with any specific delivery instructions that you give us however we will not be liable for any delay, damage or loss as a result of complying with such specific instructions. New Improved formula for glow in the dark paint from April 2023 (smoother flowing and brighter glow). Firstly, take the correction fluid and apply it to the end of your float without the swivel covering about 4-5cm of the balsa. Allow this to dry for a couple of minutes. You now have a completed float ready to use, test it in your sink by using a length of line and adding BB shots until it sits how you want it to, remember the amount of weight required or you will be constantly fiddling about on the bank getting it right. Pole Floats: Pole floats are a type of fishing float that is commonly used in pole fishing. They are typically small and highly sensitive, enabling the angler to detect even the slightest bites from fish. Pole floats are attached to the fishing line using a sliding attachment and are used to present a bait or lure to fish at a specific depth.

However before doing that, for the sight tip, I have a coat ofplastikote white as a base, then two coats of plastikote bright orange over that, THEN humbrol flourescent gloss orangeontop of that (a single coat works as long as you make sure its properly stirred - dremel plus small bent bit of wire ! if you must put on a second coat allow at least four days drying inbetween); then the matt varnish on top. These are never going to be the amazing work of people such as Paul Duffield, Mark Greenhalgh, Ian Lewis or Greg Kaminski but they are easy to make and work really well.

PLEASE NOTE: (Size restrictions do apply, please see Royal Mail webiste for further information.) All Prices are Inc Vat It may seem daft putting a matt varnish over a gloss finish but that last coat of flourescent gloss certainly makes a hell of a light reflective and therefore visible difference under a matt varnish - best of both worlds. Flat Floats: Flat floats, also known as dart floats, are a type of fishing float that is designed to be highly visible and buoyant. They are typically made from materials such as foam or plastic and are available in a range of shapes and sizes. Flat floats are commonly used in stillwater fishing and are effective when fishing for species such as carp, bream, and tench.

From this you will work out that I don't hold with the theory around ' flash ' caused by the addition of varnish, and apart from anything else my varnish is semi matt.... Float paint allows anglers to customize their floats by adding color or patterns that can help to make them more visible to the fish or blend in better with the surrounding water. The paint is typically made from fast-drying enamel or acrylic that is designed to adhere to the surface of the float, providing a durable and long-lasting finish. Is the varnish necessary? No, probably not but if affords a little extra protection which suits me.Surface Floats: Surface floats, also known as surface controllers, are a type of fishing float that is designed to float on the surface of the water. They are typically made from materials such as foam or plastic and are used to present a bait or lure to fish that are feeding on or near the water's surface. Surface floats are commonly used in surface fishing, which is a fishing technique that involves presenting a bait or lure on the water's surface. Customizing your floats with float paint can also be a fun and creative activity for anglers of all ages and skill levels. With the ability to create unique designs and patterns, float painting can add a personal touch to your fishing gear and make your floats stand out from the rest. Many will have favourite makes and colours and they probably work just as well as the above. All I know is that I have floats many years old finished in the way described above and they are still fine. In fact I have left some out in deep winter to test durability and still they survive. Bolo Floats: Bolo floats are a type of fishing float that is commonly used in freshwater fishing. They are typically long and slender and are designed to be highly sensitive, enabling the angler to detect even the slightest bites from fish. Bolo floats are attached to the fishing line using a sliding attachment, which allows the angler to adjust the depth at which the bait is presented. They are particularly effective when fishing in slow-moving rivers and canals.

Can be used to paint many things, not just fishing floats. Very strong and hard wearing enamel paint. Oh, and don't on any account use plastikote varnish - it's not waterproof no matter what they say.... Leave everything to dry for 5 minutes then clamp the swivel loop between the pliers teeth again and carefully paint a layer of varnish on to your float. I have completed my floats like this before but to make it completely waterproof allow the varnish to dry for 24 hours then paint another layer of varnish on just to completely seal it, again allowing it to dry for 24 hours.Next you need to very carefully take small shavings off the piece of balsa at the end with the swivel in until the balsa is roughly blended in to the end of the swivel barrel. Now take your sandpaper and gently sand both ends into a nice smooth finish, carefully blowing any balsa dust away. Float paint is a specialized type of paint used by anglers to customize their fishing floats. Fishing floats, also known as bobbers or strike indicators, are used to detect when a fish is biting on the bait or lure.
