baitbucket Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 What is a good temperature to paint blank lures my basement is 51 degrees is that to cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 No, not too cold but it might be a little uncomfortable. It's a good idea to use a hair dryer after each color to speed the process along. Not a good idea to shoot wet paint over wet paint. You want the lure to be bone dry before you apply the topcoat.

dpalinsk Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Depending on what top coat you use, you might run into issues. When I use D2T in lower temps, I warm it up with a hair dryer before squeezing into the mixing cup.

RayburnGuy Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I haven't found a minimum recommended temp for applying D2T, but Bob Smith claims their 30 minute epoxy needs to be applied at 70 degrees or above. I've applied it at temps lower than that and it seemed to cure just fine, but that is what they recommend. You might want to keep this in mind if your using epoxy for a top coat in cooler temps.
