MR KNOW IT ALL KIND OF Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Good stuff.. will last you a LONG LONG TIME!!! Remember Im a fisherman!! So read between the lines.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theflyingplatypus Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Its probly acrylic based, which means it will not last. If you are looking for something easer to use epoxy try dick nites fishermun's lure coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjbass Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 If you are talking about Createx gloss top coat, it is fine for clearing your bait to protect your paint before final clear coat, but it will not stand up alone to fishing abuse. You need something much tougher. Epoxy (Devcon 2 ton), etex, new lustre, crystal sheen or dick nites.....these are your best choices.

u63405 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I've used createx paints on a lure w/o coating it and it held up surprisingly well. heat set the paint/top coat with a blow dryer for added adhesion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjbass Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Let me clear this up.....no pun intended...... Createx paints are great, I use them all the time. Yes heat setting will adhere the paint, but Createx gloss top coat will not stand up to what actual fishing puts a lure through....trust me on this.
