Swear I heard a few cows turn around during their migration south after finishing these. Pics don't really do them justice, they reflect light like disco balls.
put some bling on some Beachmaster Atom jr's.
Used Marine Epoxy mixed with the flakes. Very hard durable finish. Could drag it over the rocks w/o chipping. Will break bluefish teeth. Recoat most of my wooden plugs that I buy with this method w/ or w/o flake added. Extends their life without changing the action.

Ive used a couple different ones. Starbright has always worked well. Along with Devcon. Either one keeps my wooden plugs looking fresh for a long time. Won't cast most bought plugs until I've coated them.

Chief: Are you talking about an epoxy from a tube? You're mention of Devcon has me wondering. What kind of drying time is required here,
whether from a tube or a can?
Devcon 2 TON epoxy. Sets up in 30 minutes. Crystal Clear. You can handle it in 2 hours. completely waterproof & chemical resistant. 2500psi bond strength. It is thick and needs to be brushed on but can be spread out in a very light coat. Even a thin coat is an incredibly strong finish.
I have never heard of this method being used. But it has worked very well for me.
And anyone with a paintbrush & the epoxy can protect their wooden lure investments from rocks/bluefish/whatever. Even just casting creates chipped paint all around where the trebles hang.

Chief, I went on the DEVCON website and didn't see the one that was mentioned unless I missed it. Does that devcon have to be mixed and if it has to, does it have to be consumed immediately, is it a one shot deal. Just want to give the plugs a protective finish. Does the epoxy come out thick or thin. thanks
I'm experimenting with West Systems epoxy - then putting gelcoat over it.
Made my first prototype spook this weekend. I highly doubt any bluefish is gonna put a crack in the gel coat. In fact they may be missing teeth after an encounter with the gel coat. Will be testing it this weekend.
