I'm using that sander currently and good so far does the job. I keep it on for hours at a time and still going. I think for the price it's worth it I even use it for sanding skateboard decks that I press myself .

forgot to mention yes the LSS and solvent top coat products will amber and over time it will more so. With Dn as top coat you should be fine. With the LSS you could dip all day, just don't know what it would do to the foil. The waterbourne Lacquers go on white and cure crystal clear and have added uv resistance and durabillity, but harder to sand and apply. Will your DN not even out everything in the end. I'm using LSS-Creatix- Duplicolor Acrilyc Enaml Gloss In spray bomb and is working for me, but I'm only doing a few at a time.

There is a difference from auto to millwork lacquers in the base of the product u.v. inhibitors,flex agents its endless and all kinds chemicals give durability to the elements a car will see. I'm currently using the M.L.Cambell Pre-cats,and thinned 20% even up 40% depending on the situation in the booths I'm in, on kitchen cabinets. Most of these pre-catylized laquers are self sealling (clears) but I prefer to always lay down 2 coats of sanding sealer but I'm locking in the stain color and giving myself some easy sanding without taking any color off. All that being said on wood baits I use a spraybomb of satin lacquer to seal the wood before testing and paint. Its easy fast and quick and no problem with paint adhesion and thats all I'm using it for is to seal the bait. I did a test with some waterbourne pre-cats. dipping the baits and allthough it worked lots of bubbles and longer set up. With lacquer always be careful with direct heat(hair dryrer heat gun) Not to mention all the other negative things.I have not done a foil over yet so can't say what would happen. if using lacquer keep in mind its a thin process its not going to work as high build or even out differences very well. Just my 2c Could try dipping in a quart of uncut pre-cat sanding sealer and see what happens just becareful on the film build. Good luck

I picked up the dremel rechargeble for $40.00 and its all I use for eyes and detailing been pretty happy with it lo and High speed is nice to have. And I have a nock off with full variable speed 110v that I haven't used much but works really well, I just like the no cord for me and it is very light.

Thanks Vic and Bobv I have an account with an ind. Plastics in town seems to be reasonable on price. Only used the mirror coat to seal a new bait, I just brushed it on and it has a 60min open time so I guess if I have few ready to go could do a bunch without excessive waste. For final coats I think I'll stick to a quick drying sealer. Thanks guys Pete

I use old createx bottle filled with water and acetone 50/50 works well. And give the brushes a good bath dismantled in the same solution every once and a while.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this epoxy it is a 2 to 1 high gloss, Cant get my hands on Dn, looking for options also thinking of plastic dip clear gloss wich is soft yet super strong I think it might give baits that flesh feel and increase them to hold on. Any thoughts? Pete

Great just getting started in lure making and now every time I get on TU I got something else to try something! Thanks Dieter You guys amaze me nice blades! Is there such thing as ( AA FOR DIY)!!

SPJ are you dipping the lures and hanging or turning?

If your using Creatix Autoair colors You shouldn"t Have a problem, As long as everything has dried properly. I'm new to tu and takle making but have just finished my first 4 baits and I used dupliclor acrylic enamel Clear gloss and their Mettallic clear gloss in spray cans with good quick results, will be moving to the epoxy side of things in the near future. In the past On vehichles and such using creatix auto air for tape outs, I could clear with any automotive clear and all was fine.Might want to check out creatix web site for compatibles.Good luck.

I'll definitely check it out thanks!

thanks I'll have to give it a try!

Mark is that stuff simalar to the smartboard products for exterior window batons ad such or the maintnance free decking?
