Location: Bemidji, MN | Has envirotex changed there formula? The reason I ask is that I bought a new package a few months ago, and the lures I covered it with don't seem near as bomb-proof as the last batch. Same procedure used as before. I originally thought maybe I messed up the ratio on one batch, but it seems they are all the same. Anyone else experiencing this? |

| I also noticed that the darker of the 2 liquids isn't nearly as dark any more. |

Location: holland | i have that only with the ""quick dry"" version from envirotex.
the normal version is better then the quick dry version,the resin from the quick dry version is crystalizing with a view weeks,and then is the envirotex not strong and the dry time is very longer then.
deffently not ""pike proof"" then!!

Location: Bemidji, MN | Mine is not quick dry either. I painted a bait for a friend, and he brought it back to me yesterday with a nice musky tooth stuck into the side of it. No fish to show for it though. I am also noticing that the hooks on crankbaits are rubbing through alot faster with this batch. Maybe I will write this one off and try another pack. |

Location: Norway | My old e-tex bottles (from last year) gave me soft and crappy finnish. Could make marks with my nails. Thought it had something to do with humidty while drying. Got a new set, and it seems alot harder, but brittle. One of my lures cracked when my 10 month old slammed it in the floor....
