chas48 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 How do you feel about putting clear paint over powder coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I use fingernail polish (enamel or acrylic) over PP when doing 3D eyes with no problem. Don't like the vinyl stuff..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Even though epoxy takes longer to cure, I think it gives a better finish, IMHO. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brshpile Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Why would you need the clear coat? If baked properly it is tough as nails... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Chas48 Are you going to add glitter or hi-lite? Shawn M I like the Devcon also – gives the jigs “depth”. Especially with 5and 6 color painted jigs. The fingernail polish is too easy, cheaper, and it serves its purpose – sealing in 3D eyes. For saltwater I use the 2T.

Shawn M Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 LedHed, I used clear fingernail polish over eyes but fell in love with Devcon, plus I've been mixing fine glitter in with the epoxy and just dig how it looks! I still use fingernail polish over holoform tape and other stickers I put on blades. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookUp Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I started using that bling nail polish w/ glitter thanx to a TU member. Stuff's great, but do meet some interesting people buying nail polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 HookUp Know what you mean - sometimes you get that funny look when you are buying 5 or 6 bottles of fingernail polish. Try to send the girlfriend but she is getting tired of my hobby..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
