Kribman Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi, everyone. I'm on my way and have about ten lures done, and I just realized, what if my sealing techniques aren't as good as they could be. After I dremel and sand to my desired shape, usually maple or red oak, I dip the lure in polyurethane wood stain/sealer, sand, repeat, and then use a spray on model sealer/lacquer/primer. Then I paint and after it is dry, I have one of those two bottle epoxy hard coat mix bottles. I just mix those and brush on one thick layer. Is this enough? nother layer? thanks a bunch Kribman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeman Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 here's what I use...devcon2ton mixed with thiner 1 or 2 layers (usually 1 layer is enough) or 2-3 coats of propionate pellets dissolved in acetone or thiner , both methods are for sealing the wood, after that I sand and paint. As for the topcoat 1-2 layers of epoxy or 5-6 dippings in propionate+acetone ( you got to pay attention if you use rattle can paints ). here you have a short description about the propionate: http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11621 P.S. you may obtain a whitening effect cause of the air humidity (if you use propionate as topcoat) you can solve it by dipping the lure in pure acetone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
