SsimonJohansson Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Hello and cheers from Sweden! I have been casting these really small ice jigs (a couple of hundreds) and now I am considering using propionate as the top coat for them. The reason why I am looking into propionate is that the lifetime seems really good and I can dip them which saves me time. But how is the finish on the propinate? Is there anyone that have some pictures to show? that would be awesome! Edited February 7, 2017 by SsimonJohansson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Your question seems to be more for the wire forum, but the clear coat question may have a good result here as well. I use several ways to clear coat jigs. The reason is not to help the life of the paint but to give it a look. I use powder paint most of the time. The coats I use is brush on type coating, nail polish is one, KBS is another. Someone will come a long about propionate. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 If you know the finish on a original Rapala minnow, that was propionate. Clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I think propionate will hold up pretty well. But more modern topcoats like moisture cured urethane are even more durable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
