Now take your sandpaper and gently sand both ends into a nice smooth finish, carefully blowing any balsa dust away. 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.... 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.

So you have all of your materials, the next thing to do is to cut a piece of Balsa between 4-5 inches long. One point ; In the preparation stage it is imperative to make sure the areas to be painted are kept free of ANY form of handling. Fingers are greasy and do nothing to help long term. The same goes for dust, so I paint in as controlled an environment as possible. Dust is everywhere and most you cannot see ! 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. Float paint comes in a variety of colors and shades, making it easy for anglers to match the color of their float to the conditions of the water they're fishing in. For example, brightly colored floats may be more visible in murky or dark water, while muted or natural colors may be more effective in clear or shallow water. Oh, and don't on any account use plastikote varnish - it's not waterproof no matter what they say....recommend that you use recorded or special delivery as we can not be liable for any loss or damage in transit. 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 !!! 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.

No, probably not but if affords a little extra protection which suits me. 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. 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.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.

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. 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. 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.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. 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.
