    Finish

    I usually us gloves when painting..... I am sure I touched them with out gloves when they were dry. No more admiring my own work. lol Tom.... to prep the luckys I just hit them real quick with high grit sand paper like all the others. Wasn't aware they needed more prep. This was my first attempt using DN on any baits..... D2T must not have the same effect. I appreciate the advice on stripping them.... Can I also use that method the remove the wrinkled DN to start over? I have seen many pictures of your baits on BBC, you definitely have it figured out! Thanks again for the response. Justin

    I really haven't thought about me handling the bait between coats causing the problem (rookie)..... I'm sure I touched them some because in the beginning I wasn't planning on a second coat. That could certainly be a possible cause...... Thanks!

    Finish

    RG... I am using createx paint on plastic baits and heat setting with a hair dryer. I usually heat set them pretty good between coats and before clear coat. My first coat looked great but just didn't hold up like I was expecting, probably my fault. I may not have let it cure long enough after the first coat (about 4 days). I was dipping bandits and lucky craft baits. All of the bandits looked fine after the second coat, but every one of the lucky craft wrinkled. The only difference that I am aware of is that the bandits had an additional two days of drying time after the first coat. I have some drying now that I plan to wait a full week before dipping the second coat.... will let you know how those turn out when they are done. Thanks for your response!

    Just wanted to bump this back up so hopefully some of the experienced DN guys can set us straight...... Justin

    Finish

    Guys.... funny you bring this up. I just finished my first few baits using DN. I only applied one coat on a few boats but after catching a few fish, the finish didn't hold up as good as I was hoping. I only let them cure for about 4 days. After coming home that afternoon I decided I would dip the others to apply a second coat. Just noticed this afternoon that several of them are showing major problems. Looks like wrinkling skin under the second coat? Several questions for those with more DN experience. How long do you let DN cure after first coat? What the heck could have caused my wrinkling problems on the second coat? Thanks for all the helpful info.... been reading for a while, but just started painting. Oh and sorry for the post hijack.......GT. Justin
