Was it acetone and styrofoam???

Recommended Posts

I don't think it was styrofoam and acetone.

Try solo clear plastic cups and virgin lacquer thinner.

This will seal baits, but will not work as a clearcoat.

I don't know of any mixtures that we make that will work

as a clearcoat. All clearcoats that I know of are commercially

made.

the best sealer I've found is to use prop disolved in Acetone. Contact Swede here for more information.

If you want to try the polystyrene (styrofoam or cups) use virgin lacquer thinner. I however caution you against this as Myself and others have had less than ideal experiences with it. some baits I've made with it are fine others cracked wide open. often times water is blamed for this but some of these baits hadn't left the workbench.

I have been using the virgin lacquer thinner and cup method for awhile now and never had a problem with cracking. When i am really impatient I can even test 3-4hrs after dipping if its warm out. :eek:

i guess its all in the ratio used IDK tho! I havent tried the pellets yet mainly cause im too cheap but have heard nothing but good things about them. D2T thinned works really well too!
