Clearcoat On A Plastic Swimbait

Recommended Posts

You can apply MCU with a brush if you can't dip it.  When I've done jointed baits, I finish the segments separately (best).  If the joint is made from eye screws, you can glue the screw eyes so the segments will be stiff as you finish the bait, removing it later with a small drill bit chucked in a Dremel.  I don't like epoxy CC on jointed baits because it will always chip off where the segments bang against each other.

Thanks a ton Bob. These are plastic unpainteds with what looks like a hinge between the segments. I will know a little more when I get them but wanted to educate myself now.

It would be a wise thing to bookmark the address below. Dick gives TU members a discount and has set up a special page for us to order his products from. I would also suggest doing a search for posts about his top coat here at TU. It can be tricky to store if you don't use the proper precautions. A little research now will save you a lot of frustration and money later.
