I know ones that are being sold on lure parts online and other type of websites are using does to punch out the lips. I’m thinking a hand one will work.
-
Has anyone tried this with a manual punch press? I know where I can have some dies made but not sure what would be the best type of press to use. I want to use something manual and fairly cheap. Anyone done anything like this?
-
Yeah I’ve done it the next day too but I want to let it dry and install my lips and hook hangers and dip again. I don’t know if this would be possible with kbs
-
What I would like to do is apply the first coat then when it dries install my lips and hook hangers then apply a second coat to seal it again. Doesn’t sound like I can do that. I wonder if I can apply another product first then seal the second time with kbs
-
For those of you that use this and do 2 coats I have a question. Do you have any issues with the second coat adhering well? I had an issue with another mcu when doing the second coat one time. I let the first coat dry completely before applying the second and I had the second coat flake off over time. Has anyone had any success applying a second coat after the first coat has dried with kbs?
-
So I just found out this is the same product as garco mcu which I am very familiar with.
-
I finally got a response from the manufacturer and it is a moisture urethane. You can still do quality work in bulk. I know a lot of guys who do. Jawjacker comes to mind.
-
I can’t really find the manufacturer anywhere. I think I did email top secrete coatings but never heard a response.
-
I just thought someone may have tried it out before and could offer some feedback before I wasted my money.
-
That’s what I am doing. Shopping around to find something better. I wouldn’t call that product cheap at $80 a gallon. If it stores better than kbs it would be worth a try. I remember when I started out nobody even heard of kbs.
-
I’m looking to do a lot at a time and kbs is nice but cost too much.
-
Wonder if anyone has tried this or know anyone that has. I wonder if it would store better than kbs? https://www.topsecretcoatings.com/products/platinum-non-yellowing-urethane-high-gloss-clear-gallon
-
Yes you are eighth bob. I’m not sure it would work dipping unless you put it on a turner. I’m pretty sure any epoxy would require a turner or it would all run off. I could be wrong.
-
So I want to make my own pearl paint to dip baits in for a base coat. What would best to mix this with to achieve this. I will dip the baits in my base white first. I am assuming if I win it with a regular white paint the pigments will hide the pearl. Would some kind of urethane be good to mix it with? https://www.theepoxyresinstore.com/collections/mica-powders/products/jacquard-pearl-ex-powder-pigment-pearl-white-21-26-grams

I’m always in the lookout for something else to try. I came across this website when looking for pearl powder to make my own pearl paint. If you have seen videos on Facebook of people using resin to make cool tabletop furniture this is probably the product. I was wondering if you thought this might work to dip lures in for topcoat? They have a lot of other kinds and even a boat/marine kind. Might be worth a try. https://www.theepoxyresinstore.com/collections/craft-and-jewelry-epoxy-resin/products/crystal-clear-epoxy-resin-with-uv-absorbents-clearcast-7050-epoxy-resin-system

I had a problem one time wth the last coat pulling off after some time. If I remember I let the first coat dry completely before re coating. It’s been a while so I may have that backwards. Anyone else experienced this?
-
I’ve used those but they are too expensive for doing a lot of baits. I think I’m going to buy a do it drop shot mold and modify it then cut the weights to size.
-
Those of you that have made your own mold to pour belly weights post some pictures. I want to make one of my own and want to get some ideas. I think I would rather make one out of wood since it would be easier.
-
I’ve ordered from specializedbalsa.com
-
Exactly. I like kbs but I’m always on the look out for something else to lower cost but I won’t sacrifice quality.
-
I may buy some and test it since it’s not too expensive. I use to use graco mcu and it used to be yellow and didn’t have any effect on the baits color.
-
I came across this today and wonder if it might work as a top coat? I buy some and give it a try. https://www.woodworkingshop.com/product/m60328806/
-
Where do you get that stuff at
-
Main reason is want to be able to do around 100 baits at a time.
-
Actually I don’t. Can you dip with that and how does it store?
