| I'm repainting a jointed depth raider and was curious about how much epoxy to put on. Don't want too many coats to affect the action or too little to protect the lure. Thanks. |

| None !!! Shouldn't use epoxy topcoat on that bait--was not designed using it and it will most likely affect the action big time... Use the 2X topcoating--spray it----Need respirator but that is the type of finish put on most plastic baits. |

| SORRY MEANT 2K------------- typed it wrong... 2K clear topcoat spray--- only a 48 hr window to spray it once you break the seal---Heavy duty super Gloss--------You can buy it on Amazon and many other places---Works great---I wait until I get like 10 baits to spray at once... That way I use it all within the 48 hrs--Its not cheap---Like $15-25 per can depending on make. |

| do you know if the 2K has a bad chemical reaction if the coated lure comes in contact with soft plastics. I've had some plastic bait coatings "melt" where they were touching rubber baits |

| I coated lure with two thin coats of epoxy. Lure still seems to have plenty of action. Here is a picture.
