Being a wooden lure we have to seal/harden the wood. Basically if not the lure will absorb liquid causing raised grain or even rot. Hardening the wood also prevents hardware from pulling out. Not as big of an issue with cedar but balsa lures hardening is very important
Started out sanding the lure to clean up wood filler and smooth any rough spots. Mask of the lexan because you don’t want to get sealer on it
For sealer I am using envirotex lite epoxy thinned with acetone. The epoxy is a simple 1:1 mix be sure to mix it well and your measurements are correct so it cures nice. I thin my epoxy with a 1 part acetone to 2 part epoxy. Again stir it really well. It does not take much the pic of the cup is what I used to seal two lures. I then brush the mix on the lure making sure not to miss anything. Wait about 10 min and brush out any air bubbles
And tomorrow is paint day
