I use the spray KBS can all the time for personal baits. You need a good number of coats to achieve the same durability as an auto clear, but it does the job and will retain your detail work. Only downside is I have had it react to some plastics…not as often as with rustoleum clears, but it will turn soft if brought into contact with the wrong stuff. Also the KBS stinks pretty bad until it fully cures and you fish or air it out enough.

I did something like the coat hanger thing with leftover core shot rods I had I made a little mixer for stirring in dyes, additives, and such and used it with a infinitely adjustable dremel Worked out well. I could probably get longer SS rods and use it like the coat hanger. Less bend and more mixing. I also like the idea of Tossing in some SS nuts. We fish, so we always have a bunch of those around don't we? I do have a plastic equipment supplier in my bookmarks that sells bucket w/lids 1 gal and up, and different wide mouth jugs. I was thinking of giving that a try. Small investment. Probably cost more to ship. I don't know why it seems as though this last batch of baits I made seemed like the plastisol wasn't completely mixed. Made for oily baits. Never had that before. Same supplier I guess I could have been a little more aggressive with my mixing. Thanks for all the ideas gang. I am going to try them.

I hit report as I'm sure others probably already have.

I usually say stay away from Rustoleum 2X clear like the plague, but they have a matt finish clear that I have used that looked OK. Knowing that if it touches plastic, plastisol, vinyl and or some silicones is can react, melt and start to make a sticky mess. I haven't sprayed the spray can version of KBS, but dipped and sprayed the quart stuff and it's very glossy.
