buckwheat12n Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Real quick question. Just curious how many coats of D2T most of you typically apply to your Musky/Pike crankbaits? I've been going with 2 coats but didn't know if 3 would make that much of a difference durability wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I never use but one coat of d2t, works for me. Musky Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekoutdoors.co Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I use to use the stuff and one coat is plenty. That stuff is like a rock when it cures totally and it adds a lot of weight to lures. I use DN because I don't have that problem with the weight. Just make sure to mix it really well before using it.

buckwheat12n Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 OK, so its sounds like 1 or 2 is the way to go. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly1 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 It also depends how much you thin it, on PVC I thin mine to all most a milk viscosity with one coat and with wood a little thinner than a stock mix and still just one coat.

bassguy Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Just one coat. Applied liberally all over the bait, nose to tail, smooth strokes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleriver Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 What are you thinning it with Hillbilly, if you don't mind sharing the recipe? I would very much like to safely thin sometimes, especially for a second coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly1 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Denatured alcohol I mix the DA in the A and B before mixing. As for the mix ratio others will differ but mine is 1/8oz of DA per oz of epoxy. You also have to be aware of ambient heat in the room.If its warm I only thin a little if its cool I do the hole 1/8th oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR KNOW IT ALL KIND OF Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 If you want to catch more fish apply 1 coat....bait will have better action. If you want it to last forever don't use devcon 2 ton epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleriver Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hillbilly, thank you for the recipe. Rookie, what "forever" finish do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk78418 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Dosent the dev turn yellow quick in the sun? I use etex but wish it was harder. Dosent turn yellow at all just gets punctured by hooks and teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
