With the polyacrylic, can you use either devcon or etex as a topcoat?

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking that if I cut the lip slot and then primed and painted, it would probably be pretty snug. I looked at the tutorials from the How-to section. I'm thinking these are the steps: 1. Trace Pattern 2. Cut slot to ensure it is square to the bait. 3. Drill holes for hardware 4. Add weights if needed 4. Prime 5. Paint 6. Attach lip 7. Topcoat 8. Add hardware 9. Catch 50" Musky Last step may take a while. Is that pretty much the sequence? Thanks in advance for the advice. I can see how this can be addicting!!

I'm just getting started making some musky lures and I'm trying to cut some lips out of lexan to "play around". My question is, what are the tricks for cutting the slot in the wood so that the lexan fits tight? Do I need to find a thinner blade or find thicker lexan? I did a search and wasn't able to come up with a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
