I'm managed to turn some lures (poppers, plugs and a few swimmers) and have all but finished the lures. They look pretty good. Should they be coated with something more that the paint used to color them? I made sure that the wood is completely covered, but from the ones I've seen on this website, mine don't have the shiny coat that others do.
What I did was literally dunk the finished wood into the acryllic paint, hang dry, dunk a second time, let dry, and spray paint for the finished colors/effect. What else could/should I do to preserve/protect the lures from the abuse that I HOPE they get when used?
