mark poulson Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Just be sure not to let your AC1315-coated baits touch soft plastics. Something in the plastisol will dissolve it with prolonged contact. I dipped some rats in it, and put a clear nail polish barrier around the hitch hiker I used for attaching my soft plastic worm tails, and have had no problems.

jonister Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks mark for the warning! i dont usually add plastics to my cranks but i have been thinking about a rat so now i know, ill watch out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's doable, provided you take it off when you're finished fishing for the day. My baits only had problems with prolonged contact. With the clear nail polish barrier on the rats' butts, I haven't had any issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNOWMAN CUSTOM BAITS Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I had to stop using AC1315. Something in it messes with my head. I tried using it outside with a fan I even bought a respirator and used goggles and it still burns my eyes and gives me a headache so it's in the garbage with that and back to auto clear and D2T. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Snowman, I agree about the fumes. They are nasty. When I first tried dipping with AC1315, I did in inside, and wound up having the same thing happen to me. So now I am careful to dip outside, with a fan at my back, and to let the lures drip off and dry outside. I bring them in to hit them with the hair dryer, again with a fan at my back, but then it's back outside until all the solvent is gone.

jonister Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I have not noticed this, but i know what your talking about. Super glue does it to me and it sucks. I dip outside and in and have not had problems yet *knock on wood* It might help that its windy outside alot and i have an industrial fan vent in my garage though.

Vodkaman Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Superglue scares me when it gets up my nose. It is like a hot needle and makes you imaging the damage that it must be causing, whether it does or not. The solution to all these products is not rocket science, it is just ventilation; outdoor and fans, as has been mentioned many times before.

jonister Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I have been examining my lures with the ac1315 topcoat, and if i press hard enough i can get a dent in it. i also can scrape it off with my nail if i get a good hold. On one lure i was molding and had some hot glue on for support. when demolding i trie taking the hot glue off and it de-laminated the solarez in one area, and just straight ripped it off in another. on both lures there was at least 4 coats, Is this oK? will it hold up to rocks, or even fish? if it comes down to it i might just have to use it as a gloss coat over solarez, but then weight becomes an issue again.

Darkman Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I just ordered AC1315, my first time. I want to thank everyone here and a hug for my friend Mark poulson Going to try it on spoons and a few jig heads. The worm contact problem can be worked around, I'll use either Sally Hanson or do it lure coat. I'm having a hard time finding MCU since I live in so California and in Los Angeles county where two companies so far won't deliver to, so finding this product is a small blessing Thanks guys for all the grunt work so guys like me can have less troubles, I appreciate every one here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Erick, for jig heads, I skip the AC1315, and just us the nail polish. Clear over colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkman Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Good for lures though right, I'm setting up my airbrush station and want to use it s a clear coat since I'm having trouble getting MCU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 It works well for lures, but you have to keep it away from plastisol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonister Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I would like to hear how it works out for you. I have a can of it sitting under my desk with dust on it. It was not my favorite, but it has me interested again. I like its properties better than mcu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
