mitcheal Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Has anyone here had any luck using one of the Big 2 "Devcon" or "Evirotex" on spoons? What are the best types of paint to use on the spoons before clearcoating and if one side is to be left polished and unpainted, is it a good idea to also clearcoat that side? We use a lot of spoons for both salmon and walleye around here, and as soon as one gets hot, the finish starts to fail. I must have a ton of spoons in various states of finish failure. While many of the spoon manufacturers use lacquer, these also begin to crack, scratch, rust and in general lose their appearances. Thanks for any help.

Celticav Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Devcon tends to crack on angles, I would use something more like Dick Nite's Clear lure coat on spoons, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodieb8 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 we used to paint thousands of spoons. heres what we found. on plated spoons we used dupont 2500 plus clear. after applying they went into a home made lo bake oven for 7 minutes at 150 degrees on cookie sheets or on racks made of rabbit wire. they will cure in a few minutes rockhard readt to hook and ring. this has been the toughest we know to date for candy colors or painted. an exellent prime is white epoxy primer for the start. hope this helps you out on your adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
