Heat setting Createx Airbrush paint?

[ProfessorM]

your epoxy may fail and your paint may wear off eventually but after you heat set the stuff it is very tough to get off and I can't imagine it washing off in any fashion. I still have it on my fingernails 3 days later and I wash my hands a lot a work. Here is a picture of a new plug that just saw this one blue. It ate right thru to the wood. The epoxy is still there and the paint too, just bare wood where he ate thru it. It was fished the rest of the fall and saw no further sign of deterioration. Plug is retired.

Let plug dry 24 hours before clear and they will wear like iron! Heat setting is only required on t-shirts!
