LIVE3DREAM Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hello to everyone on the forum....I have enjoyed reading posts about all the talented bait and lure makers here! Rookie question.... I have shaped several balsa shallow cranks, and I am ready to seal them and begin painting them. I ordered some KBS Diamond for final dipping and clear coating....Can I use a dip of KBS to begin the process as my sealer....then sand that coat and paint over that first sealer coat of KBS? I have seen so many different sealer options on the forum....It seems like sealing with CA glue, proportionate, epoxy, and others all seem like a personal preference rather than a rule of thumb practice....I am hoping that KBS Diamond as a sealer might add initial strength to the bait as well as seal it? Any help or guidance on this would be awesome. Thank you all so much, Tres Waco, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azsouth Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Yes you can use it but KBS is a fairly expensive sealer....and if you contaminate it you could lose the whole jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Works great, But you might want to dip or brush it 2 times before painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I use runny super glue to seal my balsa baits, two coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
