[cool][size 1]You can use anything that will not react with the paints you already have on the lures...and which will not discolor with time and sunlight.[/size]
[size 1]I prefer a thin coat of clear two-part epoxy paint...not the stuff used for glue. If you are not concerned about protection from plastic solvents (in soft plastic baits) you can simply apply a coat of the clear gloss vinyl jig enamel. If you have some two part clear rod builder's epoxy, that works too...but takes a long time to dry, and must be rotated to keep it from running.[/size]
[size 1]I like the epoxy because it adds durability as well as protection against the accidental contact with a soft plastic bait. You can cure it faster by heating it for 20 minutes at 160 in the oven...without damage to any of the other paint or components.[/size]
