Tutorial: New LureCoat by Lurebuild let’s epoxy some lures!!!!

[@wr8010]

Just curious how you hold your lures with the lure coat on turner i am newbie really enjoy your vids

[@customlurepainter]

The turner comes with metal sticks that holds lures

[@wr8010]

So could I use the knife holder in my turner or will the lure coat blue it to that ? My alligator clips not stout enough

[@customlurepainter]

@@wr8010 yes that’s what they are

[@ralphberry3222]

I build fishing rods. could I use the same epoxy that I use for them. Like Gen4 or Flex Coat epoxy?

[@customlurepainter]

I’m not familiar with those, can’t say

[@ChristopherErringtonPhoto]

Every time I watch one of your videos I have to do a double take. I swear you sound just like letsdig18 another channel I follow. Keep up the great work and putting out top notch content!!

[@customlurepainter]

Thank you

[@Indyjeeplover]

I used this product on five lures so far. Absolutely excellent I spun mine. Has a longer working time than Defcon Thx

[@paulbowkunowicz6960]

Epoxy mixers are the way to go....I found that TrueCoat needs five minutes of mixing

[@aaronbyers1391]

So two years after the original posting of this video, are you still with this products? Have you used or tried others since? Have you used BSI?

[@customlurepainter]

Yes I still use it, and I use 2K clear and uv resin depending on the bait and how much weight I want to add, there all different.

[@CaptYale68]

Great videos. Question I have my air brushes keep clogging up. I’ve tried thinning Createx paint. I’m spraying in my garage which you is very hot and humid (FL). The air brushes brand are Masters. Should I purchase a more expensive air brush or move my operations indoors?

[@customlurepainter]

Thank you, I thin all my paints except Golden paints, Airbrushes is really personal preference, I’ve used them all from masters to badger, Iwata and creos, my opinion is the high end guns make a difference.

[@tombertrand453]

I tried using lurecoat and brushed it on most likely about the same thickness as I've seen in the video. Mixed up as per instructions. Ended up with fisheye. Using it on blank hardbaits. FB user groups on airbrushing say brush it on "thin." Tried brushing it on then - same issue - does not compare to KBS and ends up with fisheye. I brush, brush and brush more. Have tried putting it on thin. Hardbait free from contamination, temp and humidity are within target range. I wish there was more broad discussion of potential issues not only with this product but all others. I see the same thing over and over, "the greatest product since sliced bread."

[@customlurepainter]

I can only speak for myself, I don’t have issues with it, a lot of people I have spoken with use harsh chemicals to clean airbrushes, when they stopped no issues, I don’t know your situation but I’m sure it can be resolved, I weigh it and brush it on with very good results.

[@customlurepainter]

One other thing , I let epoxy bottles sit in warm water for about 5 minutes.

[@glasman9]

I just got mine yesterday and am having the same problem..fisheye..i covered 4 new lures i just did and it ruined them all....

[@customlurepainter]

How are you mixing, are you weighing it or eye balling it, do you clean your airbrush with a harsh cleaner?

[@tombertrand453]

@@customlurepainter Mixed such a small amount that I just eyeballed it.

[@woefman9467]

Microwaves are different i get it. But i did not catch the microwave time and do you do both together or separated ? Wish i could build jimmy a website its horrible on phones. Once again you did awesome video you are my favorite. I am getting closer to getting all my gear to start doing this. 😊

[@customlurepainter]

Thank you

[@jkfishingchef5597]

Do you have to put the bait on a turner or can you just let it dry stationary without any runs?

[@customlurepainter]

You can do both, I use a turner self leveling, eliminates mistakes

[@davidscales8614]

Where do you get the UVLS? Also, why do you coat the bills?

[@customlurepainter]

Blick arts,coastal airbrush, hobby lobby, bills is personal preference I like it

[@masonjp9488]

With self leveling does it eliminate paintbrush streaks?

[@customlurepainter]

Yes it does

[@petebolognese8488]

Frank where did you get the short popsicle sticks? r they 2.5 or 4.5 in

[@customlurepainter]

Got them in Craft section at Walmart

[@stripermanly]

I get them from dollar general as well in their craft section

[@CaptYale68]

What is UVLS? You said you mixed it with yellow paint

[@customlurepainter]

It’s a medium, paint protector, you can mix with your Candy2o, all wicked colors

[@walleye56789]

Frank thanks for sharing that looks good ! Quick question where do u buy your paints? I’m having a heck of time finding the 4104 chrome

[@customlurepainter]

Coastal airbrush, Dick Blick art

[@jstreun36]

What is the working time and dry time of the epoxy

[@customlurepainter]

45 minute work time, 12 hour, I really like it, been a True coat guy, there really very similar

[@michaelocallaghan4731]

Gday mate I have just started watching your channel . I have some thoughts. I appreciate the fact you are promoting a sponsor which is great but. If you are going to bag another (Aussie for deride a product) You should show a comparison. For instance I take photos of my lures when they are wet and dry later ofcourse the wet ones look so much better. Cheers mick . Just my opinion P.S. I have not used either of the products

[@customlurepainter]

Thanks you, appreciate the feedback, sure will

[@petebolognese8488]

The Lurecoat is nice ,my first time using went a little heavy and I hang mine ( no turner) cleaned out my eyelets but in the morning they were solid and a bear to clean out . note to self use a lighter coat.

[@customlurepainter]

Using epoxy I would put on turner for best results

[@Indyjeeplover]

Put it on a turner. Use masking tape over the hook and line tie eyelets

[@jamesfreda1903]

I would like to know what size lure coat you buy, I'm looking at the smallest size. I inquired Lurebuild about the shipping costs and haven't received a response as yet. Do you know how much it is? I might just go ahead and order it. However, with the cost of shipping it tends to add up. On some items,shipping is the same as the items or more. Thanks. I really like your work, I learn something new with every video.

[@customlurepainter]

Thank you, you would have to contact Jimmy Ganoe, and he will help you

[@markoharoldoronearmedpoohb7816]

I may try it when my batch of Epoxy runs out. I’m always looking for a better product.

[@customlurepainter]

In my opinion it’s very good, I’m going with it moving forward

[@stripermanly]

I’m with ya on the KBS. You just can’t get the quality of a finish using KBS as you can with 2-part epoxy, or UV cure coating

[@Ncbasspuller]

glad i saw this video just ordered some stuff from lurebuild was worried if it was a legit website
