New Improved formula for glow in the dark paint from April 2023 (smoother flowing and brighter glow). 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. Is the varnish necessary? 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.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. Now take your sandpaper and gently sand both ends into a nice smooth finish, carefully blowing any balsa dust away. 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 !!!

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.

Oh, and don't on any account use plastikote varnish - it's not waterproof no matter what they say.... 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. Can be used to paint many things, not just fishing floats. Very strong and hard wearing enamel paint. 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. 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 !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. 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.
