Hello Everyone, I have been using the water based CS clear coat on my saltwater pencil poppers, it great stuff but i have been having issues with the paint cracking as the clear coat cures. I have also been using the JB weld marine epoxy thinned with acetone and it work great but need to be thinned a lot to get a nice even clear coat on my lure turned. I have also used the Devcon 2 ton epoxy but it goes on way to thick for me and i tend to get sags on the finish even though i use a turner. I am interested in this art resin though has anyone used this finish in a saltwater application? We get tormented by bluefish a lot in my neck of the wood so durability is key! Also i have been sealing all my plugs with a spar urethane and mineral spirits cocktail but have had some issues with the combination seeping out of the wood after the paint and clear coat is applied. Am i sealing them too long or should i try something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Most of my lures are through wired with .062 wire and the belly hook hanger is a AFW 500# swivel. Thank you,
