xllund Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Happy New Year to all! Does anyone have any advice on how to fix/repair small defects in the top coating? I have a couple of baits ready to package when I noticed that there was a bubble or two in the finish, and I dont want to recoat the entire bait. These minor defects occured in both Devcon & Flex Coat baits. Thanks for any help or tips you folks can supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 To my knowledge there is nothing much you can to for a bubble. I guess you could knock it out and then recoat. But other than that.... I don't know. For pits or holes in Devcon, you can put a little in the hole with a tooth pick and then put a piece of celophane tape over it and let it dry. The tape will peel off cleanly once the Devcon is dry. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLOR ME FISHIN Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I would try to figure out what caused the problem to begin with and eliminate this from happeneing again. I painted cars for 25 years and learned early to recognize conditions that would cause a problem and eliminate them before they occur. Maybe water in your air lines. Your paints not compatable with each other, too much heat as it was drying? I found the more you try to fix something that is already done , most of the time you'll end up making it look worse!

Coley Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I know you asked about small defects and how to repair. I would guess this happens to all of us except Hughsey, now and then. If it doesn't happen all the time it will be hard to find the cause. I will just keep these baits for myself and not let them get in to the sell bin.
