  1. Oops, My mistake, I just took another look at the cans, and the flourescents are called "Premium Decor" made by an Illinois company called GPM. The paint dried 48 hours, so I'm guessing that's not the problem. I still need to find a solution, since I have several more lures already painted with the stuff. D.J.
  2. I have noticed that an e-tex finish will be spotty and wrinkled if I have handled a lure much after painting but before topcoating. Avoiding touching the lure, wearing plastic gloves, and/or cleaning with alcohol has solved this problem. Now I am seeing the same thing happening with e-tex over Rust Oleum fluorescent orange and yellow. I tried cleaning them with alcohol first in case there were solvents or something on the surface, but it didn't help. Lures finished at the same time with RustO regular pigments do not exhibit this problem, neither do non-flouro parts of the same lures. This is not the paint wrinkling but the e-tex coat. Has anyone else experienced this, and found a solution? D.J.
  3. I am thinking particularly of musky baits. I can see where rings allow you to change out hooks. But I can control hook rash much better without, especially on belly hooks. I an inclined to use them on nose and tail and not on belly. Any other factors I should be considering? D. J.
  4. Having made a wooden boat using a lot of epoxy, I learned that I had to finish with paint or varnish because epoxy exposed to the UV from sunlight, eventually discolors, turns very brittle, and disintegrates. Has this been an issue for anyone using D2T for a topcoat? D.J.
