balsabee Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 This is what I've been using. It goes on very thin and I give it about 3 or 4 coats. One every couple of hours and no need for a rotisserie. Dip it...hang it, wait 2 hrs...repeat process...3-4 dips....full cure in 2 weeks. Can use it safely after a couple days.
Guest Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I've used plastidip quite a bit. It won't hold up on a lure. Its only an experiment, Solarez is the other option for achieving a matte finish. If that fails, I will revert back to Etex.
Guest Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 full cure in 2 weeks. Can use it safely after a couple days. Dude, you've got more patience than me. I cant imagine waiting 2 weeks for it to cure, 2 days seems long enough. What kind of results did you get in terms of durability?

What kind of results did you get in terms of durability? Better than Devcon 2 ton and goes on way better with no brushing. The 2 weeks full cure is what it says on the can. You can easily handle it in 24hrs.
5bites Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 It's expensive and not matte but have you all tried permagloss?
5bites Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Trophy do you have a site, page, photo bucket account to show off your work? I've got some beaters that need turned into useful warts.

Quillback Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 I've dipped some Warts in Future floor wax to get a shiny coat. Takes 3 dippings, but they dry overnight. The future is good for a day or two of fishing.
fishinwrench Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 You guys and your Wart polishing... When I was like 8 y/o my dad and uncle took me to MN on a pike fishing trip with them. My "mad money" for the trip was a whole 12.00 and I spent 3.00 of it on a shiney red/yellow weedless Daredevil spoon from the resort store where we were camped. I was totally OCD about that spoon and if I wasn't eating, fishing, or running errands for the ol'man I was sitting there polishing the spoon with my shirt tail and admiring it to the point that it soon became a running joke for the two grown-up assholes... "Son, go round us up some kindlin', I'll babysit your spoon". "Don't fall asleep with that, you'll wake up with it stuck to your face". Ect.Ect. Ha Ha ha... So on like the 3rd day of our relationship I finally decided to tie the beautiful thing on and Man did it look sexy in the water! After about 8 casts I got brave and hurled it across a section of sparse flooded rice, after all it WAS "weedless". About 6 cranks into my retrieve a nice pike hammered it and dove into the weeds. I leaned into him with all I had, then "pop", slack line Have you ever been so close to crying when you weren't supposed to and knew if you even so much as opened your mouth to take a breath you'd loose it ? I couldn't speak for 30 minutes. There's a moral.... In loving memory
