Kribman Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 There are two regions where I can guess you may have gone wrong. 1st is the sealing prior to painting. I like to soak the body in a polyurethane stain/sealer I have. I leave it in for a minute or so, and then pull it out and let it dry. Then, I sand, and repeat. Three coats or so and this baby's ready to go. Thats how I seal. Some use dissolvable pellets in water or acetone, and thats another option. The 2nd area could be with the clearcoat. I would just simply go with the tried and true Devcon 2 or Envirotex Epoxy clearcoat. They are great products, and if applied correctly, they will keep water and teeth out of your bait. Good luck jcb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodieb8 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 use a sealer first. then you must use compatible paints for good adherence. then a good clearcoat. read the threads. theres a world of good onfo here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
