jcori3 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Did a search and couldnt seem to find what i was really looking for. Can you mix up some etex since it is thinner than d2t and dip it or brush it on and hang it up? How does the lure come out looking? Or is it better to just use a lure turner?

cereal killer Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Did a search and couldnt seem to find what i was really looking for.

Yes you can dip/brush with etex. That is what I did before I built myself a lure turner from a rotisserie motor I purchased at Lowes. If you are deciding to get/build a lure turner, the rotisserie assembly is cheaper at Lowes than Home Depot. But having a lure turner is not really necessary. You just have to keep a close eye on your lure to make sure that the etex is not pooling. Mix the etex. Coat the lure with etex, I use a foam brush from the craft stores. Hang to dry. Flip every 3-4 mins. or until it stops running. Etex makes your lures sooooo shiny and nice. But I don't think the fish cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcori3 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Were you not happy with the way they came out? I have a lure turner but i have been dipping my baits so far. Was just curious as to how to get the best finish from the two methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 There is a user-submitted tutorial by Fatfingers on applying Etex. It is the "bible" on that particular epoxy. I can't imagine wasting the amount of any epoxy that would be required to dip lures, especially since epoxy levels out so well after brushing it on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcori3 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Will use the turner then, thanks guys. Read the write up from fat fingers. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbxr400 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just picked up a rotisserie at Lowes today. They had them marked down from $49 to $22. I built a stand in about 5 minutes and are turning my first batch of lathe turned lures with etex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
