I tried this back when I was in the Army on my jump boots. Looks great; shines like a bastage. Only down side was it tended to turn white when it got wet......

I am going to give it a shot - I used that product on my basement office floor about 8 years ago and with some real hard use (rolling office chairs and a flood or two) it is still holding up well  .
I applied a coat of it over a junk plug that I had hanging around. I used a Q tip and found that Createx comes off some on the Q tip. I will give it a coat with an acid brush for applying and will post the plug tomorrow.  |

GF thanks.  How does the shine and depth of finish compare to epoxy? |

Not good. It doesn't have the depth of epoxy and the shine isn't real bright. It does look beetter than some professional finishes though. I am sort of interested in trying the dunking method. It will penetrste inside the plug and give some added protection.
I am going to try it in the salt water if the weather holds up. Maybe it will be my charm & I will ge a landlocked or holdover. Last fish I caught was Dec. 18. Two small fish one about 20" & a 14".  |

I haven't played around with it yet, so I can't say...but I'm not sure it will work as a final coat?? Still think epoxy is needed. I'm just hoping it might be able to be used as a scratch coat, as I hate using the "fry your brain stuff".
Then the sealer idea got thrown in, that's worth playing with too.
Thanks for getting the ball rolling GF! Toss it in some water, I'm curious about what Mac said...

Bingo, put a glass of water on a table that has been waxed and lift after an hour, a white ring is left |
