bonesaw Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I ordered my first can of dick nite top coat over the weekend and being new to it I wanted to know how you guys store it? From what I have read that seems to be the only pain about the stuff. Is there any chance someone could make a video tutorial of how to use it (dip the bait or brush it on)? And how to store it... If I was more knowledgable of the stuff I would do it myself. All I have ever used was devcon 2 ton epoxy and wanted to try something new. Any advice helps thanks guys!

Nathan Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Bonesaw, There is a post towards the bottom of the page titled "tapping the can of DN" you might want to read.You only want to dispense just what you need for brushing on.Anything left over DONOT put back in the can.Also if you use our search feature here and search Dicknight or DN you will have hours of reading on the topic...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 As mentioned before look up "tap the can". It brushes on easily, just don't over brush. Do it with a loaded brush and move quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesaw Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sorry guys I already read he tap the can thread I missed the picture that was posted. That cleared things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I second what bobv says about brushing quickly. If you don't, the DN will begin to dry before you get around the lure to where you began and brushing that area again will cause the DN to gloop up, causing a mess. You don't have to be in a panic - but keep the brush loaded and don't waste any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesaw Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm thinking about just putting it in a mason jar sealed with plastic wrap and spray some bloxygen in the jar and just dipping the baits. Would this cause the dick nites to harden faster or would this be a sufficient way of storing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 The act of pouring DN from the shipping can into a Mason jar can expose it to moisture laden air. Moisture is what starts the curing process. If you want the DN to last more than a couple months the best way to store it is by following the directions described in "tapping the can" and only remove enough top coat at one time to brush it on your lures.

BobP Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I've never been able to get more than 6-8 months out of a quart of DN when using it for dipping. The more you dip, the more moisture you introduce into the jar, especially if you allow any of it to drip back into fhe jar while dipping. For me, that meant throwing away half a quart every time, which is pretty costly if you think about it! Go with the tap the can method.

Da big tuna Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I started a thread about tapping a can of Dick Nite and Ben posted a picture. I did it last night and worked like a charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonpluggergino Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I like to see a Bait done in DN or some one point a bait in the Gallery to look at Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
