Palmetto Balsa Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Welcome to TU, Try a search for Propionate on this site. Here is one of the results that might answer a few of your questions. http://www.tackleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8603&highlight=propionate I am not sure what is in Nitro Cellulose but I came across the product when searching for propionate. I never purchased or tested with any of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Nitro Cellulose Lacquer is basically same as nail polish some stay clear when used as a top coat some dont they yellow over time some causes paints to "bleed" when used as a topcoat on lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofish Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 One of the best places to go if you want a good explanation of a stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro-cellulose By the way, I used nail polish to cover the blades of my spinner baits, and I was satisfied with the results. I may try the stuff on crankbaits as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
