Location: Athens, Ohio | I've got a few new-to-me baits that have some chips in the finish and a little bit of the underlying wood exposed. What's best to seal this up? Will a few coats of super glue work? I don't have any of the fancy finish products the baitmaker guys use.
Suggestions? |

| You can use any 5min epoxy from any hardware store, just make sure the wood is good and dry before you apply! Dont coat the whole lure because it will affect the lures action!
Hope this helps,

| Here is a little trick- Lay your epoxy over the chip and place a piece of scotch tape over the crack. It will help contain the epoxy to where you want it. |

Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot | Or if you don't want to mess with epoxy the super glue will work (the Phantom stuff works well). If you're in a pinch use a few coats of clear nail polish.
The problem with epoxy is that if you don't thin it out it's probably going to be too thick to really soak into the wood. It'll cover the wood, but you want it to soak in if possible as well to get the best result. |
