Re: Gloss Top Coat

Bass Wisperer - there a quite a few, with quite a few pros and cons, but I don't think Createx gloss coat is quite up to the rigores of teeth, sun, cold water etc (I have never used it though).
If you do a search for "Devcon 2 Ton" (D2T), 'Dick Nites' clear coat (or DN Clear), 'Etex', there are vast amounts of info here, also have a look at the "Tutorials", there is at least one on how to apply top coat etc (by 'Fatfingers). pete

Re: Gloss Top Coat

I use it for signs, displays, and misc. stuff, but like haz said, it's not for lures.

Re: Gloss Top Coat

Thanks guys, but which one do you think would be best for spraying on the lures using an airbrush gun?

Re: Gloss Top Coat

Dick Nite's Lure Coat gets sprayed by a few here, and say they have good results. I have never sprayed it, but have coated with a brush and it is good gear. You would have trouble spraying epoxies, like D2T or Etex without specialised guns and a lot of money. DN usually has an add at the top of the home page. pete

Re: Gloss Top Coat

Get the Dick Nites. Click the link when it comes up at the top of the page.
Read all the information on how to keep it from curing in the can. Use the search function to find the information.
You'll like it.
Clean your gun with acetone after you use Dick Nites. Then clean it and backwash with acetone next time you get it our and it will be fine.
