What brand is that UV epoxy that Larry is using in his video? Or any other type like it.
Thanks
Donnie

Hey Donnie,
It is our own version we are coming out with shortly. Larry and I have been playing with these for years and are now finally getting to the point that we like a formula enough to release it. It will be coming out within the next month. Will have more details on it soon.

We'll post the product and a video on MakeLure.com but we will also post here ... more than likely make a new topic in the Lure Making category.

I can't wait to try this stuff out.
I'm using a uv product now (Solarez) that is popular with surf board finishing. However, light timing is critical (to the second) to acquire a gloss finish, along with multiple on/off light cycles. The product isn't quite comparable to epoxy in clarity either, leaving a slight waxy film on the surface. Though this isn't an issue with lighter colored lures, the finish over a dark lure isn't as desirable (from a fisherman point of view).
How is the finish of the upcoming alumilite uv coat in comparison to the product above? How comparable is the finish to products such as eviro-tex or devcon 2 ton? Can the clear coat be applied to waterbased paints such as createx? Enamels?
Lastly, what about the toxicity of the cure? Most clears are volatile and also have a substantial list of harmful chemicals to go along with them.
I appreciate any info.
Thanks!
