i tried a few different ways with no success so I purchased famowood glaze coat and it works pretty well. a few drips but, ill eventually get a motor the spins the baits so ill be able to keep all of the epoxy on the lure

the kinds i have are waterbased, its the rustoleum brand poly. but what do you think is causing the finish not to be smooth?

hmm funny that i couldn't get a hold of them.. anyway i purchased some from predator bass baits. looking forward to painting them!

has anyone used polyurethane as a topcoat? I have a few cans lying around for wood projects and was curious.. I did however dip a test lure in and let it hang to dry and it seems like it could work but im getting the "orange peel" effect from what I guess is too think of a coat. i dipped it a few more times and it seemed to smooth things out a bit but not completely. I don't care about the look of the finish as long as it is hard and glossy, but if i were to give them to friends or sell them i want a nice smooth finish...like epoxy but i ran out the other day and decided to try this out.

yea Jake is awesome and I get good quality baits pretty quick from him. im new to this and id like to start painting/ selling more. and right now im giving them to friends to try them out. ill post a few pictures of them so you all can tell me how they look and I know they catch fish, but I have no idea what I would sell them for.

I have been painting a few lures lately and a few buddies have been requesting more, so im looking for bulk baits. ive been buying from Dakota lakes, and cant justify the 1.50$ and up when I want to buy 100+ at a time. I found Nitro Lures, and cant seem to get ahold of anyone there. on their site you can purchase the baits for around $.25 each. im not too concerned about buying knockoffs, I haven't had problems with the ones ive used in the past. so if anyone has any advice of where to look, I would love to know! thanks!
