mark poulson Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I need some help. I want to clear coat after I scale. I use Createx and Wildlife colors, water based. What do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassinfool99 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Mark, Take this with a grain of salt since I've not been doing this all that long...but. I've tried 2 intermediate tops coats. First was Rustoleums outdoor spar urethane, and that stuff did not stick to createx all that well and peeled off after a few hours of testing. The second was Rustoleums American Accents Clear top coat(got it at Orchard Supply). I beleive thay have a matt and a gloss version. This stuff has worked better for me.

rofish Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I do not know much about different types of clearcoats, but if the scales are made to a metal foil, I would recommend an epoxy, even if thinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvowell Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Just shoot it with Createx's clear and then you can epoxy over it later. I've been doing that for a while with great success...and it solves any problems of colors not being compatible with Etex, my preferred topcoat.
