CHERRYBOMB Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 So my question is do you guys dip the GST or spray it. And what is your drying time hanging or carousel it?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inrll Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I dip it and I believe the consensus with everyone is that dipping is the easiest and most efficient way. I think we had a member that did spray but went back to dipping. Its dry to the touch in about 2 hrs but takes about 2 weeks to reach a rock hard cure.

mark poulson Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Can you redip after two hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskyGary Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 How about storing the GST, since it air dries; do you have to use blogen to store the unused portion (much like Dick Nite?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwfflipper Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I am experimenting with using Createx clear gloss over vinyl dots on my lures (I use them for shad dots and cut them in half for gill ears). The problem I had with GST is it made the vinyl curl up and ruined that bait. I tried the gloss but it was very thick so I diluted it a bit like you would a paint...is this correct? Try Tree House Brand High Gloss. I get mine at Michaels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhersh Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Can you redip after two hours? Mark I try to wait at least 2 hrs between dips. So yes you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Moose Baits Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Try Tree House Brand High Gloss. I get mine at Michaels Thanks! Will it need diluted or can it be used straight? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedyarb Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Muskyjerry, there are not any storage issues that I'm aware of. I keep mine in mason jars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrogAddict Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Here's the GST process that works for me (and others that I've seen) Heat set all paint layers Spray Createx Clear Coat (I do 2 coats) Dip in GST (I use a recycled pasta jar) Let hang for 2 hours min. Dip again, repeat this for 3-4 cycles The bait is fully cured in 2-3 weeks As much as you want to mess with any drips, wait until the bait cures and take care of them then. Use a wire hanging from the lowest hook hanger to help redirect the drips away from the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
