porkmeatballs Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Took my baits for a swim today, and the clear seemed pretty good! So far no chipping/flaking. In the future, I'll probably do a few more coats of clear just to be safe. Overall, I think I like the Rustoleum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I just ran into this problem. The soft tail touched another bait's clear coat, and kind of ruined the paint and clear on it. I was super bummed about this. Does anyone know if there's a way to prevent this reaction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm using a soft plastic worm or grub on a bait that I've coated with X2 Gloss, I put a coat of clear nail polish where the plastic connects, and a little beyond, to act as a barrier.

porkmeatballs Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hmm so I would have to give the whole swimbait a light coat of a different clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if it is going to stay in contact with a soft plastic bait. I coat the butts of my jointed rats, where the plastic worm tail attaches, and that's fine for all day. I take the tail off after each trip, as part of my boat cleanup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkmeatballs Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hmmm yeah I was trying to find a cheap clear spray to use on baits that I want to sell in the future. I guess I'll have to look for a better option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
