2TBone Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Need some help; What is being used as a sealer over the foil to get the paint to adhere. I tried spraying a light coat of lacquer, however still had spots where paint flaked off. Any recommendations out there. Thanks Tbone /aka (Terry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Epoxy is used most often. It also levels out over the foil margins to make them less visible. I don't like the extra work/time involved so usually just paint directly onto the foil. I have to be careful not to rub off the paint afterward, but the topcoat holds everything down securely.

captsully18 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 When I do a foil application on a bait, I coat the foil with a THIN coat of E-Tex. Paint adheres well to it. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
