dannyp Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Need some advice/opinions. Powder coated some jigs and got the weed guard setting up right now( Super Glue Gel) Figured I would get my stuff ready for the top coat and noticed I have no more Dev 2 ton. Run to Wally World and they don't have it. Got to thinking, What about flex coat?????? Have you used Flex Coat before or what is another alternative to DEV 2 ton.????

spoopa Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hey there Dannyp I mostly spend most of my time in the hardbait section but i just checked this and thought i would throw in my ... Well I would say just stick to D2T just because of the simplicity of use. Just like Cadman said its very forgiving and dries rock hard. lol I know that it dries rock hard just from beating the shore with some of my lures all day and there is barely a scratch on them:yeah:. I have heard of people using Flexcoat as a clear coat but heard that it yellows to much. Havent used E-tex before but use a very similar product called Crystal Sheen, that stuff is very touchy but if you are trying to have a good 1/4inch of clear on your bait it will serve you well because there are lil to no bubbles in the finish. So I would just say go out and get some more D2T but if you want to experiment with other things go for it:yay:. Goodluck, Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 My wally world stopped selling it also but a small local hardware store near me has it although for a little bit higher price. I've tried flex coat since it is what I use to glue my weed guards in with and I'll tell you that it dries dull and within a week it begins to yellow, the CSI cleear is easy and simple but it takes a long time to cure and doesn't get very hard. So far D2T has been about the best thing I've used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
