Counter Sinking Eye Sockets to Accept
3-D Eyes
36. From a selection of 3D Illusion Eyes; choose an appropriate sized eye for your lure design. For the TFI, 2.5-3; I have selected the 1/4” dia. Eye. Fig. 28.
37. 3D Eyes have adhesive on back side. Use side view of lure body to select the desired location of the eye. Stick eye on. Use top & front view of lure body to locate opposite side. Make sure eyes follow a center line. Draw an outline around the eyes. Fig. 29. Remove the eyes.
38. Secure lure body in table vice with side up. Use Moto Tool, with small tube bit to cut eye socket. It is important to keep Moto Tool and lure body 90% to each other while cutting. It is OK to estimate the depth of the cut. Try to make the depth slightly more than the thickness of the 3D eye, approximately 1/8”. Fig. 30.
If you cut the eye socket too deep; you can add back to the lure body using the M&CC repair method demonstrated on page: 12.
