Anyone ordered from Dick Nite lately? I was speaking with Dick a couple months ago, inquiring about his clear coat on metal surfaces. He said he was going to send me a small jar to test. Multiple emails since then no response from him. I am reluctant to purchase something now if he no longer is responding to my emails and not wanting to communicate with a future customer.

Easy man just looking for alternatives to KBS. And I did read the instructions. Engineering Angler (You Tuber) said this so KBS might not be the best option for clear coating fine metals. I would call him a reliable source. “Yes...Most clear coats including two part resins will react with the silver and start the oxidation. There are only a few clear coats that will protect the silver. If you visit some websites that specialize in silver you can find some protective coatings.”

Look for advice. I have silver and gold plated spinners and spoons. They have lost the clear coat from the factory. The factory recommends using Tarn X to revive the metal. It does a great job bringing the shine back however the metal tarnishes again within a few months. I have used KBS in the past but found the metal still tarnished under the clear coat. Go figure. I was careful about using a clean dry blade before dipping but still had tarnishing. Additionally I hate the thickness and bubbles of KBS. Someone mentioned KBS is moisture based so it will increase tarnishing the blade. Wish I knew that before spending $65 Canadian dollars for a little can. I also tried Everbright, a jewelry clear coat but it chips too easy and same thing, the blade still tarnishes under the clear coat. So is there a clear coat out there that will stop this tarnishing? Or am I best just to dip in tarn x and clean before I go fishing? It would be nice to have a stock of ready to go lures. thanks Brad
