Re: thru wire holes
I have not heard of anyone doing a double seal like that though I was considering it when I was puzzling through a bait a couple months ago. I have not yet done that bait, bit was going to do a valoil dip then brush on some thinned epoxy. not done yet though,

Re: thru wire holes
Thanks to those who answered on the original question on filling the holes. I was fishing for answers on if there was anything added to the epoxy like sawdust, or the like, so as not to use ALL epoxy. How did this get on sealing the wood anyways?

Re: thru wire holes
sawdust or silica will work. when i built a clc kayak, both were used as filler when mxing epoxy to goop into the seems or to thicken it.
I think one of the first couple of responses though you were refering to sealing the thru hole not necesarily filling it.

Re: thru wire holes
you could try fiberglass resin also. it hardens like cement. most guys use epoxy. i wont get into sealing. thats for the hatfields and mcoys

Re: thru wire holes
Guess i misunderstood the original post and took "fill" for "seal".
My intention was to point out if you seal the wood you wouldn't half to worry about filling the holes.
Musky baits are large like the striper baits are...or maybe they ain't? 
Anyway, I posted with good intension's no harm no foul. |

Woodie,
stay away from polyester resins. They do not adhere well to wood, yellow with time, and become brittle with UV exposure. one other little tidbit of info. Polyester is NOT WATERPROOF that is whay glass cars and boats have a gellcoat on them. |

Re: thru wire holes
guys for what it is worth i use a hot glue gun with basic wally world glue sticks to seal my rattles and thru wire and have never had any kind of pull out or chemical reaction to paint or epoxy top coat. glue gun is really quick drying also. just my 2cents

Re: thru wire holes
Thanks for all the replies. I just worked on a 12" deep diver and was looking for different ideas. I have used a 2 part epoxy (syringe) thinned with a bit of alcohol to run down into the holes. It will run all the way thru if you dont watch it. The glue gun trick is interesting but it DOES set up quick and might not flow very far before blocking up. I wonder if an air pocket would affect it's action at all?
