Location: Freedom, WI | It is the same, hardware stores or hobby stores. Seeing you are from Canada I believe the more popular choice is Nu Lustere 55 (spelling?) there. I think it is better than e tex lite. Envirotex also makes a few other products. http://www.eti-usa.com/ |

Location: Freedom, WI | Depends on what you are trying to get out of the coating. I have never used nu- lustre but have been told by the guys that use it if you want it for impact it is better as in, is not as brittle as e tex. It might be clearer also but not sure, the stuff I use is twice the cost of e tex but you get what you pay for in most cases. If you are just getting into lure building cheaper e tex might be the way to go to get used to working with the stuff. |

| I bought a relatively small amount of e-tex from Menards and it has lasted me 3 years. Each bottle must be around 30-32oz. or so and for the 15-20 baits I make a year, it works out to be pretty cheap. |

| etex drys according to warmth in the man cave. .remember to make sure you seal the lures before prime. it really helps with bubbles when you clear coat with epoxies. |
