i have fished mine after a day and a half and didn't have any problems what so ever.when i first put it in the water i kept checking it after a couples cast with my hands to see if anything was going on and it was fine.so i guess if you are letting them sit for a couple days then i don't believe you will have any problems.i do like the shine and i have just finished clearing four more baits and i put four coats on them,the reason i did this is because i put some flake in the second coat.after the fourth coat or as i was appling it u really had to look close to see where you were spraying because the shine was in full swing.for me this is the best way to get a good shiny finish,and also the fastest way.
