Tony Maxwell Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 What is the ratio of epoxy to denatured alcohol, so that the finish isn't as thick??? Thanks in advance. Tony When in doubt, Jerk & Shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskiefool Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I run about 60/40 epoxy to alc for a wood sealer 2-3 coats and for finish about 15% alc just enough to bring up the bubbles quickly John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Is this the infamous Tony Maxwell in 7 Mile, Ohio? Are you still making those little crank baits? The water is still cold up there I assume, the Mississippi water temp is in the 60' and the bass are starting to bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy maker Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Is it common to thin the epoxy? How does it effect drying time? I typically put it on staight. mossy maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 After mixing the epoxy, I dip my brush in denatured alcohol and flick a few drops into the mix (I mix enough epoxy for 2 baits at a time). It only takes a little. Don't thin it if you have anything on the bait's finish that can disolve/run with solvent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
