alwayscrankin Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the best brand of clearcoat and method for clearing jointed swimbaits like sebiles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piscivorous Pike Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I found these sebile knock offs to be exceptional, I painted them, have some still for sale, and got Dick Nite top coat into some of the joints. http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9962/mskx.jpg But I loaded a syringe with MEK or Acetone for the tough ones, lacquer thinner or paint thinner for the not so bad ones. Placing a drop at a time and blotting with cotton tips I managed not to damage the paint job and loosened the DN to a stiff jelly. Then I picked it out with a pointed exacto knife and a straight pin I bent into a small hook, guess it was not straight anymore-lol Tedious picking away at it finally removed it without damaging the finish. I also found that a few drops of wd40 also helped when you thought there was no more you could get out I would lube it, again from a syringe. Fortunately I only did that to a half dozen or so. I do not like painting lures and will not do it again. Sold my airbrush. But looking at the picture of a few of the ones I did, I am not so bad an painter. I just have no patience.
