All great posts on different finishes. we all hope to find a quick and tuff finish. With all the plug makers( non- coomercials) the concensus seems to go to a 2- part type. I been using e-tex for a few years. 6 rpm spinner or hanging w/flipping with very few problems. I've been producing larger quantities and been looking for a more proficient way to coat. 3 coats of Rustoleum is OK but an epoxy offers that " designer" look. Devcon 2-ton thinned w/ alcohol is what I like for poppers and darter lips. IMHO the harder finish helps the plugs hold up somewhat longer especially the darter lip.. There are commercials using a hard and thin finish. Don't know what but that's their secret. I guess the never ending search for the perfect finish goes on. Great post. Keep up with the replies.
