Paolo,
not discussing future of epoxy resin in bait building, i have to warn that its very dangerous substance for the health. ( I had experience with it during repair work of my boat ) Remember to use it ONLY in very well ventilated area. From my small knowledge in this area, there is many different types of epoxy resin. Probably for lure building we should be looking for resin made for lamination and coating.. something like this http://www.tomps.com/shop/epoxy-laminat ... p-131.html
As i remember, special solvent(styrene) should be used to ensure good spraying and high penetration in to surface - http://www.uscomposites.com/solvents.html
Could you share some tips for choosing right epoxy resin and using it in bait building? We have one wholesaler of epoxy resin here, who may sell different type of neutral or colored epoxy resin in quantities starting from 1 kg, will check prices with them and may get additional, professional advice.
Thanks!
Thanks SergeiS, you have translated well.
The epoxy resin and polyester resin are not the same thing .
I agree with you that are dangerous and it is the best to use the woood .
In Italy many lure builders ( fishermen that made wobbler) like to use the resin.
this is a minnow ( = wobbler) in epoxy resin:

This is a wobbler with polyester resin:

I don’t like the resin and I want not buy it.

I needed any lure lips = Uintilevyt

Thanks
Paolo
