Coating big lures with Devcon.

Recommended Posts

Hi,

It's my first post on your board and I'm very happy to be a new member. Does on of you Devcon expert have a trick to coat big Musky plugs with Devcon without making a mess ?

By the the time I get to the other side of the 12" lure the epoxy has started to gell and I get an uneven coat. I guess I could make a few batch to coat the lure but I'm wondering if there is a better way.

Slimo are you using the 30 minute stuff?

Do NOT use the 5 minute it will turn yellow over time.

after I coat mine I heat it up slightly (2-5 seconds) with a heat gun this will thin the epoxy so you can finish brushing it out. This also causes the epoxy to set sooner. I think it even gets harder whenyou heat it but this is just my opinion.

Thank you all , you guys really know your craft!

I took a bit of advice from all your answers and here is what I did:

I use the bottom of a soda can to mix the epoxy, since the can was full of cold soda it kept the Devcon from reacting to quickly. Then I used a bigger brush and I finally heatgunned the whole thing for a few seconds.

The bait looks great!

Thanks again.
