wtfooptimax200 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just out of curiosity, how many coats of Devcon does everyone use? I have only painted a handful of baits, but typically apply only one coat. Also, what is the consensus on how long to wait to apply the second coat?

I am still a rookie, but I use one coat of Devcon to seal the bait, paint, and then one more coat of devcon. This works on medium to large bass lures.

BobP Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I never use more than one coat on bass baits. It's thick stuff! But you can re coat anytime after the first coat begins to harden. I'd wait at least 3 hours just so there's no chance that brushing the next coat will push around the first. Each coat cures based on its hardener/resin chemical reaction. The only time I re coat is when I missed a spot or the first coat did not cure hard. A second coat will cure either problem should it occur.
