Well I'm glad there's something better out there... Guess I gotta start buying finishes in 5 gallon buckets till I find the right one 
If we're done going down that road, has anyone actually had any experience with the #^&#^&#^&#^&nite stuff in salt ?? |

I experimented with it for a while several years ago -- used it over a variety of paints (acrylics, laquers and enamels), and it played well with all except spray metallics... kinda melted them, especially chrome and silver. Liked it initially -- except you really need excellent ventilation, or you're going to get fumigated -- but found that #^&#^&#^&#^&'s stuff is not immune to bluefish teeth and jetty rocks. You can dip your lures, and it will become tack-free in a room above 85 degrees in about 2 hours, is fishable within 8 hours, and fully cured in about a week... at which point, if anything, it may become a little too brittle for a coating over a soft substriate (wood).
But it stinks to high heaven in a closed space, is relatively expensive, and won't stay liquid in the can very long once opened (3 weeks was the longest I got, and that was after being extremely careful; one can flashed overnight, when I left the lid loose between sets of lures).
On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd rate it 6/7 in the salt used over wood. |

Sometimes the devil you dont know is worse than the devil you know.....
Thank you Krispy for bringing something new to the table, knowledge is gained through experimentation....
It's been stated many times here, but IMHO, it bears repeating, it's all about the "system" it starts with the wood, proceeds to the sealer then progresses to the primer then to the paint, lastly the final finish... if one Item in the chain breaks down, the game is over....
I dont expect my plugs to live forever, if they did, they would either suck and catch no fish, or if they were indistructable, I'd have to spend the winter nights watching Law and Order with the boss lady... |

Thanks for the answer. I am pretty happy with what I use now but am always interested in some thing that might be a little easier. The toxic stink part is enough to change my mind. I will take a little less wear with a little less stink. |
