More problems....
« on: May 08, 2012, 05:35:38 PM »
Hello again,

    When using E-Tex lite, I always seem to get spots on the lure where the epoxy won't take. Any suggestions? (And which epoxy would you suggest? E-Tex or DEVCON?)

Thanks again,

-Tom

Contamination...finger oils I'm betting. Either epoxy will work well.

Many use a scratch coat to stop this from happening...a real thin coat of krylon before you epoxy. Then rub with 600 grit paper, dust off and coat. Use gloves...very important.

For what it's worth also, I those eye glass cleaning pads, similar to a alcohol wipe, before i epoxy, and I haven't had any problems with epoxy not sticking. I use Devcon 2 ton.
