Hookemup Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Has anyone had good results with any water based urethanes? Do they dry faster than the solvent, or oil based ones? Any reccommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Water based urethanes may be water resistant but they are not waterproof. If submerged or left sitting on a damp boat carpet for some time, they take on water, become soft, and turn white. You can let them dry again if they are water logged and they return to their original state and clarity. But most guys won't appreciate the need to do that when there are waterproof solvent-based alternatives. I've tested a couple of them and can't recommend them.

RayburnGuy Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I've tried a couple of the water based urethane's as well and in one case the bait developed hook rash after only one afternoon of fishing so durability was a problem for me as well as what Bob stated.
