Are you heat-setting the Createx between layers? If so, I agree the problem might be an issue with your primer and/or sealer.

If you are not heat-setting, that might be the culprit of the "un-set" paint. I had problems with Createx not seeming to "cure" in the past, so now I heat-set every layer of paint with a heat gun; in fact, I do that now with every type of paint I use -- even lacquer-based ones.

I believe Numbskull or others might heat-set by hanging the painted lure in the oven on a low setting for a short while...not sure of the specifics.

Something else to consider is what you are using (and how much you are using) to thin the Createx for spraying. You could be diluting the binding too much.

Sorry to be repetitive, ProfessorM replied while I was typing...
