SwimbaitJoe Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I am going to make a few hinged baits and I wanted to use a topcoat that would be more prone to flex than crack. I remember reading an article in "field and stream" or "in-fisherman" about using a bike tire epoxy combo to seal lures. My question is if anyone has used bike tire epoxy with any success?

spoopa Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 i dont know about bike tire epoxy, but if you want a epoxy that can flex, there is flex coat. I use flex coat when i make fishing poles, for coating the thread on the eyelets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Years ago, I used Crystal Sheen for coating rod wraps. Any decopage epoxy will be flexible, because it has to be able to adhere to large wood area which expand and contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderbasser Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Flex Coat will work if you don't mind your bait turning yellow! IMO Flex Coat is junk for baits and rods unless it is going over a dark bait or dark wraps. If you want to use a rod building epoxy, use Threadmaster. It is far superior...especially when it comes to yellowing. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
