All Done With Envirotex!

[capesams]

so it's been told that although the auto is hard and clear that the e-tex on top is alittle more forgiving when hitting an object and acts like a bumper for the clearcoat that's under it....

how does tung oil compare then.....? with clear coat and envirotex...

its just not sprayable? remembering: the sturbridge villiage candle makin shop technique ......wouldn't it be a more augmented process to be dippin them
dozens at a time..... in a gutter shaped container of clear coat....?

i realize the air brushing part on an indivdual plug.....is an art form....

auto-clear then west.

it'll break rocks

I have tried auto grade finishes and beyond.... they don't hold up. I tried that Nyalic stuff... developed for space capsules and used on the bottoms of aluminum boats... it doesn't hold up too well. Aliphatic Urethane... doesn't hold up. Try and try.... epoxy seems to be the best but it is a pain in the @$$. Do what I do... train your girlfriend to help with the epoxy . Or pass them off on Fishaholic as I sometimes do

the hardner kicks the urethane too fast to do it that way without wasting a ton of paint. Working time varies with brands but it's about 30-60 min. so it doesn't make sense to mix up a large enough volume to be able to dunk plugs, it may be possible but it may be costly as well. Spraying on is the preferred method, 2 coats and done.

Like CS said we know someone who does 2 coats and then scuffs and does 2 coats of E-tex for durability.

Bigfish, it won't be any more durable than the E-tex on the sand, however it's alot quicker than applying the E-tex and waiting for it to cure. Since you don't plan on bouncing them off rocks, I think it will hold up fine. Do some tests first on the different types of spray bombs you use = laquer,enamel etc. to find out compatibility.
