Location: Almost Heaven		What are some the products and ways you use to fill in imperfections in the grain on wooden baits?

I dip and let the bait sit in thinned spar varnish for a couple min. and hang dry it. Then before painting I sand with 150 grit for some grabbing power, and a clear coat of rotisserie set two part epoxy (like etex) is the smoothest surface to paint on in my opinion.

Water based sanding sealer works great speeds the whole process up

Location: Muskegon Michigan		I use ZAR SANDING sealer on all woods. It is the best all around one step sealer I have ever used. On Oak I have to dip the lure twice but this stuff gets in there and does a great job. Can be thinned with regular mineral spirits when it gets too thick. Great stuff. Mike

I use a coat of epoxy on my large lures and give my smaller lures a dip in SPAR.

Location: Almost Heaven		How about drywall mud?? I redid a well known jerk bait that I peeled the original paint off of and I can tell you the base looked and sanded just like mud. Go figure.
