bladesandbaits Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 What Top Coat should I use ? Regards, Blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 You should use that one part fast drying stuff compatible with all other coatings that levels like a dream and cures to a rock hard, crystal clear waterproof and hookproof coating in 12 hours. The kind you can leave in the can on your bench indefinitely without it going bad, curing, or turning brown. You know, the one that costs $25 per quart. I used all mine up. When you find more, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnie3035 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 If I could paint as good as Blade I would let them go w/o a clear coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofish Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 If I could paint as good as Blade I would let them go w/o a clear coat. You are perfectly right Gunnie. It seems to me that these lures have not met a clear coat yet. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=user_activity&search_app=gallery&mid=12411&search_app=gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackjack Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I am a newby when it comes to clearcoat but I heard from a reliable source that minwax poly in a rattle can it the cat's meow, my second choice would be clear nail polish. If you want I could use the search feature called the internet and find out where it is available!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lure--Prof Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I've been spit-polishing all of mine. It is a rather involved technique that most people will want to try to shortcut, but hey, there are no shortcuts when it comes to the best baits!!! D.
