Jig Man Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I’ve been pouring lots of swimbait heads and some of my cavities need recoated. Is it ok to spray on another coat or should I clean it with acetone and start over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishin Big Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I would clean it and start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasilofchrisn Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I always touch mine up. I've been using dropout for the last 10 years or so and I've never completely cleaned out a cavity to recoat it. I like to heat my molds up first and then just the lightest coat should do it. The heat helps it set quickly so it won't drip or run. If you're finding there's marks in your jigs from the Dropout then I would consider removing it and recoating But that only happens to me if I end up spraying way too much and get it to where it has pooled in a cavity which is a pretty rare occurrence. Actually it's probably only happen to me a couple of times and I caught it before I even cast a jig. Rather than clean the entire mold I just got some q-tips and denatured alcohol and cleaned the one cavity and recoated just the one cavity. But if you got spare Time to kill and you have nothing else better to do I guess you could clean the whole mold out first and then recoat.

Jig Man Posted January 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I’ll try the recoat first. I have 2 cans of spray. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
