FatSack Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Has any body used this? Its from Mudhole tackle. I have used a product for rolling urethanes that is added to the paint when mixed. But never seen a product that busts bubbles when sprayed Its designed for rod building, just curious if this would work on top coat epoxy for lures See video below Edited March 20, 2014 by FatSack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Here's a thread about it from a few years ago if you want to read up on it.

FatSack Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks Ben, I guess I should have searched it first. It seems jusr about everything has been tried at least once by somebody. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 No worries Billy. It's good to keep an eye out for new materials, methods, etc. and it doesn't hurt to post them. No telling when somebody might stumble up on the holy grail of bait building. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Since alcohol is what breaks up the bubbles, will breathing on the epoxy after drinking a few beers make your breath more effective? I'm just sayin.....maybe it's a legitimate reason to drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdL Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 At a rod building event a couple of years ago one of the builders used canned air to burst bubbles on the epoxy finish on the wraps. He just passed over the epoxy quickly, lightly and bubbles broke. Seems like it depended on just right of air flow (not too direct or too light). Some other rod building guys used butane micro heat guns. This is what I use on rod epoxy. Again not too much heat -just a light touch. More than one way to do this. I thought about using a hair dryer but don't since dust in the air can be kicked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelentless Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 In the directions that come with Etex it says it's not the heat that burst the bubbles..it's the carbon dioxide. Heat thins it some allowing the bubbles to rise faster naturally. Exhaling and letting it sit a minute does wonders for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
