Question on UV resin prep

Recommended Posts

UV cured finish is UV polyester resin, a one part finish.  Epoxy is a two part finish that mixes a resin with a hardener and cures via a chemical reaction.  In any case, I’d dip the lure and let it drip back into the container for some time before curing starts.  If you are curing under a black light or under sunlight, I’d run the lure on a lure turner.  As long as the lures have not collected excessive dust or dirt, no special prep is needed.  You can Google Alumi-UV to see an Alumilite video of application.

Thanks Bob for clearing that up for me. I will fix the question. I am however concerned about cleaning oils from kids handling baits. Is there anything I can do that won’t harm the paint. 

You can try shooting a coat of Createx clear over the paint job before you put on the top coat.  It seems to go on well over "dirty" lures, and should/could help with any contamination.  If you can, do test shoot first on a "scrap" lure, to see if it works for you.
