fishnart Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 After six pages I hope ya'll see this. It seems from what I've read is that most are liking this stuff?? Wheres the best place to get it, do you have to mix anything in it and are there any health issues? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass01 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 There is a link to purchase the product and have it shipped a couple pages back,no mixing needed and the same health concerns as with all concrete sealers, well vented at the very least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 The shine will look the same, once it's in the water. "They're all sisters in the dark" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBI Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 That was my impression - not a super shine like epoxy. However, easy to work with, easily dipped & dries quickly. Trade off like everything else in life i guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbadoyle Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Exactly what pledge product are you guys dipping your baits in before the ac1315? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 That was my impression - not a super shine like epoxy. However, easy to work with, easily dipped & dries quickly. Trade off like everything else in life i guess! I think the shine is a product of the thickness of the coating. Epoxy is thicker, so it adds depth. For me, it also adds another day to the construction process, and weight to the bait. I find the AC1315 doesn't diminish or dull the paint schemes in any way, and, in fact, enhances them. It is also thin enough that it doesn't obscure or fill in details I've added, like tracing the gill plate onto my PVC lures with my thumbnail, to provide a slight recess that adds shadowing. It coats diving bills on cranks, and doesn't peel when I grind them on rocks. I've got some wiggle warts whose bills are worn from rocks, but the paint on the bills, and the AC1315 top coat, are still adhering fine. I have had urethane coatings on bills peel in the past, and I've had epoxy coatings crack and chip, but not the AC1315. Lastly, it doesn't pull away from sharp edges, like epoxy does when it sets, so one dip coat covers everything. I add two coats just for the additional thickness and protection, but I have cranks I fish myself that I only dipped once, and the finish is holding up fine. The only thing that keeps this from being "the perfect country and western song" are the danged old solvent fumes, but I dip outside, and am careful to have good ventilation.
