Thanks for the update.

Is this the same kind of wire you use?  I don't mean to take business from you...does it come on a roll like this?

Scott, I know you said it takes about 5 days for sealer to dry and use... I soaked my lures for like 5 hrs or so...forgot about them. ( spar urethane and mineral spirits) I hung them for a day outside in a nice wind and they don't smell...are they ready?   What happens when you do paint over "not completely dried sealer"?  Peeling?

LOL I missed this for some reason. Well paint them and find out. If they bubble and the paint lifts you answered your own question :)

How long does it take epoxy to fully cure?  Is it suppose to be "rock hard" or still able to get off with a razor after one day?

Depends on the type of epoxy. What brand/make.

Envirotex is not the same as a epoxy I believe. Etex nevers really hardens it can stay slightly soft. Epoxy should be fully cured in 12 hours.

Hmmmm, didn't know that...

I had to scrape, sand, pick off the envirotex of my last batch, my lure spinner stopped spinning and there were globs of etex on lures....normally I can sand down imperfections, and do a real light coat to fix....it ruined one of my best paint jobs!!

that can happen. Murphy's law says it happens at the worst time.

I hear some paint epoxy and then hang it to drip dry, How does this work?  Good results?

Don't recommend you let epoxy drip dry. It will not end well.
