Jrmeef88 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’m new to the whole resin world, I’ve been making wooden lures for awhile but I’m ready to start using a master to duplicate my work. I’ve been using true coat for my wooden lures but am wondering if that will work on a painted resin bait? My shop is in my basement under my front porch, I have a concrete sealing and 4 block walls. I am unable to ventilate my shop and I know that automotive clear is pretty nasty stuff. I was thinking I could buy some aerosol stuff and spray it outside but it’s currently about 15 degrees in western Pennsylvania. Anyone have experience using 2 part epoxy clear on a resin bait?

azsouth Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Welcome to TU, you might want to use the search feature for this question. by the way I don't know of any top coat that you can apply below freezing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Catignani Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I have used two part epoxy on baits and it seems fine...you also have an option of UV resin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentrod425 Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I just bought some UV Resin off Amazon for $20. little to no odor and works great...need a UV light (also about $20) to cure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m using true coat in my shop. But I don’t have ventilation in there to use a spray on auto clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Epoxy works just fine. UV resin also works well. Neither outgasses much and they don’t contain much if any solvents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverSmallieGuy Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 If you have molded detail in a resin lure that you want to maintain, it's not the perfect option, but KBS sells their Diamond Clear in a spray can. Its pretty tough, and you can put as many coats as you want on there, while still keeping it thin and durable, which will maintain the carved detail.

Braden Forgot to mention, do not spray this inside your home, spray it outside, unless you have really good ventilation. This keeps your respiratory health safer, than if you were spraying inside without really good ventilation. Braden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
