Cartrpill Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I have been using Devcon 2 ton for my topcoat and rotating by hand usually for 45 minutes. I have made several flat sided baits where the epoxy flows away from the edges (1/8" radius) and doesn't completely cover the edges, so I end up putting on a second coat. I have tried rounding the edges off more and more on each new bait to see if I could stop this from happening. Are there any recommendations how to get the epoxy to stay on the edges, other than 2 coats? Or a minimum radius on the edges that should be used to keep this from happening?

MaddoxBay Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 You wont keep epoxy on the sharp edges. I really dont know what the minimum radius is but I just knock the edge down and I usually dont have a problem. You do have to be aware of the edges when applying the epoxy though.

Lure--Prof Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 If your designs demand a lot of edges that you can't knock down, you'd do well to switch to a moisture-cure urethane type of clear, or a clear lacquer, or anything but an epoxy.

dampeoples Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Yeah, what Dean said, I'm using Dick Nite Lurecoat, and switched to it because of the devil of the self-leveling 'feature' of D2T, takes more than one coat, but two coats of Devcon, on a plastic trap, kills the rattle.
