I would like to make a few wire through prop baits and top water lures. If I sculpted a template out a hard material like wood or hard cork, insert wires for hooks, then paint, add eyes, etc. – what type of material could I cover it with to give it a hard clear plastic indestructible (or very tough) covering? My background is fly tying I think about how we cover some flies in epoxy, so I am thinking something similar but more durable and doesn’t yellow.
Thanks!!
