Looks interesting and sounds like it would work on lures.

I had tried some smooth-on mold making stuff and it sucked compared to Alumilite.  I have seen this stuff but I hated the mold stuff so I stayed away

Epoxying is my least favorite process.  I spray the clear Lacquer as a grip coat and wonder why I even use the E-tex.  Those caps look kinda interesting, though.  Less mess is a good thing

West systems has the same pump tops for their epoxy.  It really makes things easier. 
For my etex I bought some bottles at the craft store 3 for $3 and have the pointed top with little cap.  The caps actually fit on the etex bottle or if I have the big etex kit I just pour into the smaller bottles.

With West systems the pump is a measured pump.  Meaning one pump from one and one from the other and they are equal

I hear ya same here in NJ.  We have been getting pounded w/ rain for the last couple weeks.  Never mind the melting of 4 to 5 ' of snow and ground frost also.
