So after reading a post about ACC I decide to give it a try. Initially I was pretty impressed with it, its easy to mix and goes on very thin. I used syringes to measure equal parts and mixed thoroughly. I wore powder free latex gloves during the paint job and heat set every layer of paint. I took all the normal precautions, even blew them off with an airgun before the topcoat. The lures stayed on the turner over night, a good 8 hours. When I woke up this morning I gave em a look, every one of them had at least one very small spot where the ACC pulled away from the paint, leaving a small circular area with no coverage. A few of them had multiple spots like this. I also learned that if ACC gets under your eyes they will "float" out of the socket, so from now on I will be gluing the eyes in and letting them cure before topcoating. One of the baits had a bad "bubble" on the side, it almost looks like it sat in one position and the topcoat went to one side, though there is no way this could have happened as all the other lures had an even bubble free finish aside from the spots missing coverage. The coat is super clear and bubble free, I'm pretty impressed with it and if I can get it to work without the problems I think I have found my new topcoat. Any of you guys had these problems with ACC? Any recommendations? I'm going to give them a second coat tonight and see if it will cover these spots, I've got a tourney this weekend and sure would like to have these cranks ready, I tried something a little different on a couple of em and have labeled these my secret weapons lol
