go4bas Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I am looking for a good hard self leveling basecoat for wood baits that I have been carving. They look really nice but I still get the grain showing and dont like sanding too much. Any ideas?? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benton B Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 1 coat of thinned devcon will take of the grain. Gives you a nice smooth surface to paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4bas Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks, What do you thin it with and which type of Devcon do you use? I presume you are talking about Devcon Epoxy. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benton B Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Devcon 2ton epoxy thinned with denatured alcohol. I mix up enough to coat 2 baits then add 4-6 drops of the alcohol to thin the mix. I brush it on with a craft paint bursh and let the bait turn for 1hr.
