So now I seem to be getting what looks like small air bubbles in the etex. There are so many that it looks look hazy. I know my mixture was good and I'm pretty sure I mixed it more than I needed. Tried to torch them out but it didn't work all that well. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Did you put too much on? The torch will get the bubbles out if they're close enough to the surface. Try letting the lure hang for 5-10 minutes before you put it on the turner so that the bait only holds a thin coat. Wave the torch over the bait and you should see all the bubbles disappear. You're better off with a few thin coats than one thick coat.

I agree with Knooter several thin ones are better than heavy ones. Stir the mixture slowly also trying not to create any more bubbles than need be.
That's why I like the stuff I use. Just mix, spray and your done.
