Where to purchase Dick Nites top coat

Recommended Posts

Where is the best place to purchase the top coat and is there a specific kind I need to order to coat some homebrew crankbaits? I looked at jannsnet and called Dick nites, but they did not answer. Thanks for the help.

It is not being sold at the moment.. Just gander at the threads.

I was hoping for a link to an online store, that way I can find an alternative. I'm sure you will now send me to the wonderful help forums, which will pull up a ton of info I don't need. Don't always assume that the people reading the boards haven't made an effort to find what they need. Thanks anyway man.

I have used this one (Pelucid-"Por15") and it is pretty good except for the moisture cure problems (same as D.N) and the price- I suggest you look for a Pelucid site there without the 'au' on the web address, you will probably find it is a lot cheaper than here.pete

PPC • Restoration Specialists • Pelucid

Thanks hazmail for posting the web address for Pelucid. I guess I will give it a try since I never received the Dick Nites I ordered about 6 weeks ago, which is odd since I spoke to Dick directly on the phone to place the order (he seemed very nice). Now with his supplier issues I'm not expecting to receive it anytime soon. Oh well, hopefully the Pelucid will be a close second.

I'm not sure that I have a preference yet Keys. I'm still trying different coatings and trying to decide which I like. I like the finish and the ease of applying the Dick Nites. Love that I can dip it and just hang it up to dry, and that it cures to the touch in a couple hours. The storage problems can be a bit of a pain. Bloxygen can be used to keep the DN fresh, but it's a little expensive when your only painting one or two baits at a time. Some are using a screw placed in the bottom of the DN can as a sort of tap, but doing it this way you have to brush the coating on and I prefer dipping. And the fact remains that the DN is unavailable at the moment. Have tried E-tex and it can be a little fussy about mixing and it takes a long time to cure. Have just received some Devcon 2-ton and will be trying it next. So as you can see I'm still looking for the topcoat that best suits my needs and wants. There are hundreds of topcoats on the market and not all are suited to what tacklebuilders need. About all I can recommend is research what the people here at TU are using and maybe read up on some different finishes online and then pick one and try it. The topcoat that one person swears by may not suit what your wanting to do with it or how your wanting to do it. Hope this helps.
