Posts: 267 Location: Right behind you (tap, tap) BOOO | When you guys apply envirotex to your lures after you paint them how do you keep it even on the bait. Can I just hang the bait and brush it on or do I need to keep a constant rotating motion to keep it all even and free from dripping. Esox23 | ||

Posts: 393 Location: Kawarthas, Ontario | If the bait has sharp edges (where flat mets flat) the ET will tend to thin out over these spots. You'll get a heavier build over round areas and areas adjacent to flat areas. I've used both methods and I prefer a rotational system. | ||

Posts: 1937 Location: Black Creek, WI | I use a rotational method.... but it is limited to one lure at a time. Great for tinkering and getting once thick coat in a single application (like mreiter stated). If you want to do many/several lures at once.... multiple coats via hanging and brushing seems to be the mainstay. Good Luck. jlong | ||

Posts: 2378 | When you hang the baits, are you flipping them every once in awhile? | ||

Posts: 393 Location: Kawarthas, Ontario | If you're hanging them, do one coat let it dry completely. Flip the bait over and do it again. I have a rotational dryer that can accommodate about 8 lures at once. I'll try to post a pic later. | ||

One other thing; If you get bubbles forming, try a blow drier. It lifts the air out of the ET. Ty | |||

Posts: 393 Location: Kawarthas, Ontario | Okay, here's a pic with an unfished bait held in the dryer. I use a avriety of springs to hold the baits in place. Attachments ---------------- dryer-1.jpg (9KB - 98 downloads) dryer-2.jpg (7KB - 107 downloads) | ||
