Brick Steel Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I have been finishing Predator Pop Max Srs and really like the way them. The Predator site says, “Please take extra care when clear coating around the gill slots in the mouth so you do not plug them.” for good reason. I’ve been using 30 minute epoxy top coat and have had some issue with the slits getting epoxy in them and clogging. (I think dipping in KBS would probably be just as bad). Any suggestions for how to keep the top coat out of the gill slits? I have been wondering if there is something that could be put in the gill slits after painting but before top coating, that won't react with either the paint or the epoxy and that then could be removed once the epoxy cures. Would wax work? Could it be gently melted out after epoxy cures? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Use KBS. Its muck thinner than epoxy and won't clog them up. After you dip and hang, take a tooth pick and give a little swipe around the gill opening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yep.... Or thin your epoxy down with acetone... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
