coachluker Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I recently started pouring resin lures from a wood master. This is my first time working with resin so, I'm still feeling it out. My question is what are general common practices when working with resin? Does it need a clear coat? When adding screw eyes does it need adhesive also? Lots of times we do things for peace of mind when building. I was curious about what things are considered a necessity?

AZ Fisher Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 First wash the bait with warm soapy water and thoroughly dry. You'll need to start with a primer that works on plastic. Then paint, then I use two coats of clear. If you are adding your hardware after pouring the resin, I would use D2T epoxy, super glue or Loctite gel, prior to clear coating. This is just what I do, others may have a different process. Here's a pic that shows how hardware can be incorporated prior to pouring. Not my mold, pic for clarification, hope this helps...
