I use this at times and have never had any issues with it. I use both water based and lacquer paints and haven't had a problem. What are you using for your base coat? I stay away from all spray can paint. Are you painting wood or plastic? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used it, and have never seen it eat through paint. I know that it isn't as durable as 2-part epoxy, though. We have used it for mixing UV reflectant or pearl flake and dipping.

RiverMan Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Seal Coat is not an acceptable coating for lures...........try some original Dick Nite or etex. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 CS paints have their uses but it reacts to to many things . Plastics for instance . The plastic will cause the paint to come right off a jig head. Clear coat , seal coat what ever it will come off over time . Use Devcon , Etex , DN You will get better results.

Brent R Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have 5 friends that use C S seal coat all the time and have never had any problems with it.........I just called the company and they said something else is causing your problem....Some of the big company's use this product on their cranks and top water baits..... You might want to call the company yourself and talk to them, i'm sure they will help you get to the bottom of your problem.....I have some baits that have this product on them and they all look like they were done yesterday.....and i fish with them all the time...By the way the baits i have, have been dipped 3 times....Good Luck Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which CS coating are you using? They have a water based clear coat and they also have a 2 part epoxy (So they say), Where you mix part A and B together. Also what are you using for an undercoat? What paint are you using? Is it fully cured, whether solvent based or water based? I have both of the CS coatings clear topcoats and it isnt worth the money I spent on it...IMO. Stick with Devcon 2-ton or DN top coats, you will be much happier in the long run. I too, called CS about their products and they told me it could take days for the stuff to reach full cure. I spent hundreds of dollars on CS paints for crankbaits..... until I found this place..... and what a blessing it has been. Soon as the weather gets nice out all of the CS products I have are going into the solvent tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
