i switched to a new finish from epoxy (hallelujah, i HATE epoxy with a PASSION).

i didn't make this bait, or even repaint it, its just a rapala taildancer in hot chub, but i did put 3 coats of my new finish on it and AIN'T SHE SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH!!!!

Sick!

What finish did you use?

You can't just put that on here and not tell us what it is! GEEZ!!!  lol

 Please give some details about it. That's awesome

Did you use envirotex?

nope, but that looks like it would be great on fishing lures too!

you got me looking a little with this post. That stuff is only 24 bucks a quart. Might be worth the money to give it a try...

Not a good lure finish,peels off like cellophane.

I'll stick with flex coat.

That narrow's my search down a little...! Thanks...

flex coat is a 2 part rod finish.   You can keep all the 1 part stuff, I used every polyurathane in the hardware store and none compare.

I'm sorry, but what's the point of boasting about a "new finish" if you're unwilling to share anything specific about it?  I don't get it.

lol kinda what i was thinking..

Count me in with Marty on using epoxy. I have a cabinet full of finishes that I thought at the time of purchase were the real deal but most do not hold up in the water or to the abuse a crankbait gets. From Dick Nites to polys to automotive type clears have not found anything that matches the strenght, durability and finish of epoxy.

If you can't measure properly, mix properly, apply properly and wait untill it cures properly then do not use epoxy. On the other hand if you do not need a durable finish that will withstand immersion in water and not peel off or turn yellow within a week then give me a call I'm sure I have a partial can of about any type of finish.

Been doing this a long time and I have a bucket full of mistakes to prove it.

I'll stick with flex coat.

I've never used flex coat but from what i've read about it it is very similar to the finish i use.

I use Devcon

U40 PERMAGLOSS  :-? :-?

Seems to me that since the OP hasn't responded to this question yet has found the time to post several other places that there really wasn't much to boast about and was instead just being...well, I won't say what he was being.  I'm new here, after all.

Thanks anyway, "Dave".

Dick Nite's?

yup this about sums it up.

i haven't had a chance to thoroughly test it yet, so as of yet, there's nothing to boast about, except that it looks pretty good.

i'll let you know how i really like it after i put it to the test.

didn't realize this would get controversial  : ;D

lol... Dude, no one mean's any harm... Hell, I think it's funny watching this post.. Clearcoat's have always started heated forum discussions... Just let us know how it works man... !    ;D
