BLT Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Used the D2T and like the results. I am not liking how few jigs in the 2,3 and 4oz. range I get from that one package lol. Does anyone here do the larger jigs with D2T and give me an idea how many you are getting per package/tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 D2T is much more economical when you buy it in the 9oz. bottles. Just do an online search and you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone here do the larger jigs with D2T and give me an idea how many you are getting per package/tube? You did not state how many you are getting out of a one ounce tube set. But to give you an idea, I weigh out 1.5 grams from the twin tube set and this easily covers my 2" crank body. This gives me 18 bodies give or take. I am happy with that. What I do for a new bait is: weigh the body before coating and weigh the body after. This gives me the weight of epoxy required. Of course you have to add a little extra, as you cannot apply it all, some gets left behind. This method works well for me. I am never left short and never wasting excess. I also use the application weight when determining the ballast weight required. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 BLT, A second runner up to D2T in my opinion is E-Tex. Although you will have to put on several coats, it is easier to apply, and the working time is much longer. However it does go on thinner (unless you let it sit for about 5-10 minute) and it does have a smell. You may want to try a small sample of that and see how you like it. It is also available in quart bottles and you usually can get it for 40% off with a coupon from Michaels. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'll have to find those bigger containers. I'm staying with the D2T though, don't want to get into having to do mutliple coats. First few jigs I tried to coat were to cold from being in the garage, lesson learned there lol. Does add a nice depth to the colors.
