Thank you, guys, for your responses. This is the first time I've tried lure making and the topcoat has me pretty nervous. I've not used epoxy before, so I don't know if it runs like regular super glue (which I used as a sealer before priming) or if it is more like super glue gel. I used the hair dryer to help dry the seal coats and my paint. I am not sure about the epoxy, though. Also, thanks to the threads here, I found that brushing is the preferred method of application and to clean my brushes with denatured alcohol. Once I get my first two lures topcoated, I'm sure the ones that follow will not be as nerve racking for me. I just don't want to ruin my first ones!
