I use the Minwax Polyurethane brush on and I'll dip the baits and hang them to let drip, Works good for my needlefish bait in my avatar, but I won't be buying anymore. I found the more times I coat a bait with it the more yellow the bait becmes when cured. I have been using the Minwax Polycrylic as both a wood sealer and seems to penetrate good and for the final clear after about three coats and have had very good result with this though the Polycrylic is a little more pricey I like the results better without the yellowing and seems like a tougher finish , Just bought another gallon yesturday.
