i have one and i love the thing. have had it for ten years now and i have made many different things with it. Lures for sure, turkey strikers, friction pots for turkey calls, goose calls, duck calls,etc, etc. . If you like working with wood you wll love this thing. JMO!!!!!

Could it be the same foam guys use for tying flys that comes in all different colors for like making chernobyl ants and grasshoppers. if so you can buy a whole pack of it at walmart pretty cheap. I have a whole drawer full in my fly tying desk i think i might try this, let ya know how it works out. thanks!!!!

Thanks guys for all the great input, i just pulled a real bone head move on these which is why they always say we learn from our mistakes. i did a re-coat and they are doing fine now. Go figure its always on the ones that turned out the best that you end up screwing something up during the process. Thanks again for all the help !!!!!!

Well it would appear that I messed up the mix ratio on my last batch of Etec and now the lures I coated still have a tacky feel to them after four days. Any suggestions on where I can go from here to possibly saving these?????

OK guys thanks for all the valuable information it has helped me out immensley. So for starters no more 5 min epoxy. It looks like i will be changing my technique for coating these addictive S.O.B.(lol) Thanks again for all the input guys knew i could count on ya!!!!!

I need some help here guys if you would be so gracious. I am beating my head against the wall trying to figure out which way to go here for topcoating my lures. I have been using the two part epoxy in the 5 min and thinning it a little to buy me some time, but now i am leaning towards buying a quart of the solarez polyester resin and try using this stuff to speed up my dipping time. Can somebody tell me how this stuff compares to the two part epoxy in regards to durability and glossyness on the lures. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
