Just started using the Flexcoat lure epoxy. Used an ox hair brush to apply. Comparing e tex to FC e tex has more flow rate and applies easier with foam brush. On the other hand applying more to brush allows u to drag FC to cover. I use 50% more epoxy per lure i.e. 8"pike 3cc ea to 2cc e tex. I heated with hot water but it set up too quickly. Room temp was much better. I wonder if you can thin down the epoxy with acetone like the FC rod finish
Put them in spinner after giving the plugs a quick pass with heat gun. I ran spinner 6 hrs. Within 12 hours the finish was dry and carefully handle with hands. After 2 days it was extremely harder than e tex. BTW they are like glass. Like all first attempts with a new product, you learn nuances on the product and either you like or hate. Me, I like!!!. Thanks Scott for the heads up.
