jonister Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 So i have some really nice wooden floats i made on the lathe for my crawfish traps but i dont know what to paint them with. I could seal them but i ran out of a sealer to cover it all and i really dont want to mess with that or teak oil. Can i paint it with acrylic paint or something waterproof? Thanks!

mohawkman Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 If you want them to stay really nice, I would make it a point to seal them well. Water will soak through the paint and in to the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 If your not wanting to use a top coat then the only thing I can think of is to use lacquer paint. Haven't used it personally, but a lot of the old lures were painted with lacquer paints and no top coat. Depending on how much time I'd put into building them and how nice they were I would probably go for a top coat to make them truly waterproof.

jonister Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks guys! i will probably just go to the hardware store and get some sealant then. I might leave them bare but maybe ill try that lacquer paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
