mossy maker Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I paint my baits mostly with spray cans and have traditionally coated them with polyurethane but have not been satisfied with this method as a top coat. I have tried using the 2 part epoxy coating from Janns Netcraft but it is softening my paint and causing it to smear no matter how long I let the paint cure. I'd be thankfull for any suggestions.

Coley Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Get you some Devcon 2 Ton, 30 min. epoxy, and your problem will go away. You can get it a Walmart in a 2 tube syringe for $1.97 Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy maker Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Do you guys thin it at all or do you use it straight. If you thin, with what. I assume you use a disposable brush? mossy maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesehead Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I use devcon 2 ton stait applying it with a flux brush. After I have some on the lure I warm it up with my heat gun and brush it out smooth. Warming it up will cause it to thin out to a water like consistancy. It will also cause it to set faster so you can apply a second coat sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy maker Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Thanks for all the good tips. I will give them a try. I just finished building myself a small dryer from an old paint mixing machine motor. With you guys tips and the dryer hopefully I will have some baits to show you guys soon. mossy maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
