Thank you very much for your responses! I will try applying heat as well as letting them cure longer and see how it works out! Thanks again!

Hello! I have read many threads on this forum, they are extremely helpful and you guys rock! I am on the east end of Lake Ontario in NY and I have been painting my own cranks for about a year. I have always used D2T on my repainted cranks (Hot shots, Kwikfish, Rapalas, Hot n Tots etc...) but decided to give AC1315 a try. Well I dipped 2 coats, 4 hours apart, and then let them dry for 48 hours + and the finish can be scratched with my fingernail. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am using createx paints, spraying them on plain finish lures (Chrome, Gold...) Could the factory finish be keeping this top coat from adhering? Any suggestions? Sorry if this is a foolish question!
