Can you use Alumilite clear as a top coat?

If you do, do you cut it with anything? Also can you mix alumi dust in the clear to give it color or sparkles?

Yes to both questions. I don't suggest cutting it with anything.

Thanks for the quick reply. You must be waiting on the weather to break before making a fishing trip. I am trying to get some lures finished for the next trip, hopefully in the next two weeks.

Finishing up editing and pecked to death by ducks in the form travel to various events with not enough time in between to do anything.
On the road again, or water I mean pretty soon. Enjoy seeing new faces and talking to folks at the shows and every now and then bump into some body who's really interesting or even inspirational!
I'm messing with the challenge of finding the easiest and quickest ways to get nice looking results on both hard and soft lures.

Hey guys, don't mean to interject, but ..... as good as the Alumilite Clear can be as a top coat, the Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast makes as good a clear top coat and it cures much faster.
I think my bucket list has a hole in the bottom!
