Hi Guys,
New to the forum, after reading all your posts and viewing the beautiful work all of you do, I thought I would give it a try.
I have lots of questions, but will limit myself.
1. I'm using Envirotex for top coat, how many coats do you put on?
2, The baits I have done, have some bumps on finish. Maybe bubbles or dirt? Is it possible to get a perfect finish?
Any opinions would be appreciated.
I have attached a recent bait I completed

Thanks

Use at least 2 coats, 3 if possible. Use a heated gun or torch to pop the bubbles, it will be smooth as glass

Careful not to burn the paint with heat, first couple coats are easy to do it on. Use a rotisserie or some device to rotate the lure so the epoxy evens out over the entire lure as it cures
