the hardner kicks the urethane too fast to do it that way without wasting a ton of paint. Working time varies with brands but it's about 30-60 min. so it doesn't make sense to mix up a large enough volume to be able to dunk plugs, it may be possible but it may be costly as well. Spraying on is the preferred method, 2 coats and done.

Like CS said we know someone who does 2 coats and then scuffs and does 2 coats of E-tex for durability.

Bigfish, it won't be any more durable than the E-tex on the sand, however it's alot quicker than applying the E-tex and waiting for it to cure. Since you don't plan on bouncing them off rocks, I think it will hold up fine. Do some tests first on the different types of spray bombs you use = laquer,enamel etc. to find out compatibility.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
