Alll good advice above. I warm the epoxy bottles in warm water before I start 10-15minutes, draw up epoxy with one of my two syringes (no needles) (one has a band of red tape on it Hardener) I depress the epoxy out of the syringe back into the bottle and re draw with out any large bubbles. Put equal portions into a mixing container, mix well, coat as above, then check it under a bright light to make sure there are no missed spots, give it a blast with the heat gun (Dont cook it!!!) remove from grippers and then connect to spinner. I hold my crank baits with an elastic band with wire loop on one end and a just a wire loop on the bib end.
I usually have the wire connected to the bib end before I epoxy.
Last time I was fiddling with the bib wire and the whole freshly epoxyed bait few across the garage sliding on the filthy floor
Just left it there and carried on, came back to it, gave it a wipe and recoated, then back on the spinner.
Turned ou the best !!!
Have fun, work inside the limitations of the epoxy, if you are working too long on one batch it will start to clag up.
The fresher the better and more fluid.
When all baits are on the spinner I pour a small sample of the mix to the side so I can check its curing process.
Pour some acetone into a jar draw some up the syringes and give them a clean then clean my brush with acetone then
hot soapy water.
I then pull up my seat and have a long well deserved cold beer and watch the spinner go round.
