i have a couple of older baits with bad epoxy id like to redo, is there a decent solution from a regular hardware store?

Also have a few handmade blanks id like to seal up primarily just to keep the water out to test. Again, is there a decent solution from a regular hardware store?

never devcon..early 80,s baits were clear lacquer finish...lacquers are a brittle finish..,plus clear lacquers are not readily available as government restrictions.

X 2 what woodie said. If you don't have a drying wheel, then I would use Devcon 2 ton epoxy. It says 30 minute working time but it's actually closer to 10 minutes if that.
