jonister Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 So i bought this clearcoat called OS Coatings Vinyl lure and jig finish, by Csipaints.com. It is suposed to dry "rock hard" but for me it is staying soft enough to dent with my finger nail. I got on their site and it doesnt give much info on how to use this stuff and the can just basically says to "apply" but is not specific. i am wondering if it needs to be heat set or something. Has anyone used this clearcoat before or have any ideas of what to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy G Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I have about 3/4 of a jar left. It did the same thing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaw Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Didn't have much luck with it myself. It will strip paint and crackle up like paint with moisture in it. It did work on some cork poppers I made for fly fishing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonister Posted December 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Ok, i might just use it on jigs then, @jaw, it did exactly what you described. it crackled my paint even after about a month in a heat box. Thanks for the replys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 My experience with vinly paint is that it melts when it contacts plastisol, as in jig trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonister Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Even when dry? that wouldnt be good as this is labeled as jig/lure coat. jigs were going to be my last try with this stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Dude... it sounds to me like you just need to cut your losses and use something else. Go to the jig forum and look up powder paint and fluid bed. That is the best way to go. Powder paint is really tough. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
