sallystrothers Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I just bought a spray epoxy from walmart today. It is a rustoleum appliance water proof spray epoxy. Has anyone else tried this? I will give it a shot in the coming days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallystrothers Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Is it clear? I have looked online and can only find stuff that is colored. The joke was on me. It is indeed black. I assumed it was clear since sometimes they use black lids on clear things (like spray adhesive). Oh well, my quest continues. I want to find a top coat without organic solvents that is quick by either dipping or spraying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotalakestackle Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Well, I'm with you in the search. I have been having such problems with my current topcoat with paint getting wrinkled. I thought I had it figured out my spraying a light coat of pledge future shine and heat setting to the point of almost melting some baits. I'm thinking that I might try to put a heat lamp on my finished baits for a period of time to sort of bake the paint as well... It is not humid here yet so I don't think that is the problem.

A non-practical solution for the average lure craftsman is to sand blast the surface of the bait. I do not have the ability to try this but it could help reduce paint lifting during the top coat. I noticed after a thorough coating of acetone my bait roughened up quite a bit and the paint held through the solvent top coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
