mark poulson Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Wash with dishwashing liquid, rinse, dry, and then dip quickly in clean acetone. It is a solvent for just about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddl Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 is acetone is pure or it'S exactly the same thing than remover used by women to removed nails polish ? ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcori3 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I put lures in a plastic bowl and hose down with wd40. Let sit a few days and take a tooth brush to them. Then I run hot water in the sink with dawn dish soap and let them soak and take a toothbrush to them. They come out nice and clean. Sand and scuff and shoot paint.

ddl Posted June 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 what do you mean nice and clean ,does it removed old paints and top coat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcori3 Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Removes dirt, rust, any contaminates. The wd40 will remove rust stains from the bait that the hooks leave on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RM3 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Nail polish remover has scents and additives, best to buy acetone from the paint department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I bought some nail polish remover in a supermarket once, only to find out later that it had almond oil in it. That would have caused no end of problems if I hadn't noticed before I used it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I lightly sand the old lure to erase any imperfections and give the surface a little “tooth” to promote paint adhesion , then squirt a little dish soap on it and give it a quick wash. Dry with a clean cloth and ready to paint. Don’t see the need for solvents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hard to beat Simple Green. Once they've been cleaned font touch them with bare hands again until final topcoat is applied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 scuff it. Then a good cleaning with isopropyl alcohol . Paint it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
