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.

I've used both methods and I prefer a rotational system. |

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.

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

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.
