how to speed up epoxy coating

Recommended Posts

The best way I know is to build a warming box with several high watt light bulbs, or place your lure turner in front of a space heater.  If you heat newly applied epoxy too much, it will turn to liquid and drip off the lure, or other disasters.  Really the best solution?  Try a little patience. Build enough crankbaits and it will teach you to have patience.  I promise.

Try U.V epoxy, this would cut your time to 5 minutes instead of 24 hours.

There are all sorts of U.V (Epoxy) available these days, especially over there, go for quality not price.

i just purchased 2- 75 watt uv black lights and a bottle of uv resin should this   work for clear coating lure blanks?

Would/could/should work.  Uv resins are designed to cure at specific wavelengths of UV light and your resin will PROBABLY cure with your black light bulbs.  I’d test it to be sure.  UV polyester resin is a great topcoat solution if you don’t mind the added cost and if you are using a resin that cures to a hard clear shell.
