Bullsbug Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I need to know what to use to thin the devcon epoxy with. I've started putting a coat over my finished jigs, but by the time I get 8 or 10 coated my epoxy hardens up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charkins Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Acetone or 95% alcohol will work. I use the alcohol. The smell is much more tolerable than the acetone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlaze Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Denatured Alcohol works well , I mix my D2T in small medicine cups and add a few drops of Denatured Alcohol while stirring until I get the consistency that I desire. if you are coating a lot of jigs, you can add more Denature as it starts to thicken. This works well for me and you can continue to add a few drops as it starts to thicken until you have used all the D2T this has kept me from wasting a lot of Devcon 2T. The finish coat will be a little thinner than straight uncut Devcon and I try to let it harden for at least a week before I use the lures. Hope ths helps.

wilfish4774 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have heard that keeping it cool will prolong the hardening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
