b75nweav Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 How do you know when your D2t epoxy is thinned enough? Do you just add the D. alcohol drop by drop? Is there a ratio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benton B Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 b75, I mix the same amount of epoxy to clear 2 baits, then add 5 drops of denatured alcohol. It is enough to cover 3 baits without getting tacky. I hope that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captsully18 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 b75, I mix my d2t real well and then add alcohol with eye dropper til it runs off stick the way I like it, pretty much like thick paint. It really takes experimentation to get it the way YOU like it. Hope this helps. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b75nweav Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 That's what I figured. Im working on some swimbaits and holding off on clearcoating them until I get all the details down pat. Dont want the epoxy to get stiff on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 One of the benefits of Evirotex Lite is the increased working time. I get a half hour before it's really hard to spread. If it starts to get harder to spread, I hit it with a hair dryer, and it softens up enough again to spread. I can coat five or six jointed lures in one session with Etex. I use D2T for coating the insides of the joints first, if I want to do all the coating on the same day. The D2T doesn't sag as much as the Etex, and sets hard enough in 2 hours to allow me to reassemble my lures, and put them on the wheel for coating.

hazmail Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 A blob 2" in diameter, I would put 3-4 DROPS in (WITH eye dropper), it will go all stringy, mix welluntil it is as smooth as normal. I think you get a higher gloss using this also.pete 7 DAYS TO LIFT OFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
