UV Cure Resin, from Who? Total Boat UV Resin Test and Review 

Superb review of the UV clear coat. Thanks for videoing all the tests you do to aid in educating us all. Jim Rodgers

Thanks for giving us a try, glad you liked it!! Nice work!!

Have a safe trip. I am looking forward to your next video. I also like the blood scale paint job.

Hi Franco, welcome to Oregon! Unfortunately welcome to our fall weather, ocean's gotten big, and pacific storms are rolling in. If you have family here, and can time your visits, some of the best weather is late September, early October. My latest tackle venture is going to be trying to make bioplastics for soft plastic lures. Gulp lures are made from something like that, which allows incorporation of water soluble attractants, and I want to give that a try with the gelatin/glycerine bioplastics. Ever tried that? Your videos are my inspiration to try new things, so thank you for them.

I really like the blood scale paint scheme

Like that “Blood Scale” paint job!

Hi Franco….Great in-depth review. When working on boats, it is said that epoxy can go over cured urethane but not the opposite. Have a great vacation.

Really appreciate your channel. I’ve learned a ton from you. Thanks for what you do!

Hey there! Welcome the PNW. I live across the Columbia in Camas. I sent this to a friend who paints spinner blades for salmon. 👍👍

Thank Franco, always nice to have options! Wonder if the de-wetting on the silver lure was because the original surface is too smooth. Maybe a light scuffing fix that. Have a great trip!

I started with 2 part epoxy yrs ago. switched to uv last year. Haven't been pleased with aluma uv lately, bought the Chinese stuff you use and same issue.,doesn't seem hard, kinda soft, tacky. Lures stays in box for 5-6 hrs. Idk. Been using 2 part again. Love your videos

Watching from Bermuda Island. Thanks for sharing.

I really like the paint job. Looks like an injured fish. Or even like a Southern Red Belly Dace scheme. Only much larger.

Great info on the UV..looooove the bloody scales..have a great vacation 🎣

Informative and helpful as always! Definitely liked your blood scale pattern. I may try that one. Have a safe, enjoyable trip.

I really like the blood scale paint job has a sort of koi fish vibe to it 👌

Happy Halloween

nice work!

Will have to give this stuff a try.

Super useful video for the projects I do, thanks for all the efforts

I just bought that. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. I put a review on here on the comment on what I thought

Living in Utah I loved to fish on the Provo and Green rivers, now I spend my days 3D printing models. This resin may work out well for windows?

thank you for this episode! awesome info!

Thanks going to give it a try

Very good video Could we airbrush this resin ?

Epoxy needs a surface to bind. A 5000grot ( grit*) light wet sand of the lure before coating should solve this problem

Great information!! Great video ++ Safe travels!!

Great video! I want to find a way to add a good topcoat on my lures but with a satin finish. Would I be able to achieve that by using a satin polyacrylic midcoat and then the normal UV Cure or Totalboat as the topcoat? I've had a hard time finding straight-up satin UV resin topcoats. Thanks!

Hello Franck, thank you very much for your video and review, I decided to order one to make my first try on UV resin, I ordered almost all the stuff on your amazon list for UV resin and I wondered if it would be ok if I put a lure on my usual lure turner and stand with the light over or put something who hold the light over the lure and maybe an aluminium foil under the lure, rather than making a box like you ? Thank you for your reply, keep up the good work and have a good day !

Hi Franco, great video as always, when using the minwax polycrylic through an airbrush, do you thin it down with anything or is it good out of the tin? Thanks, keep the videos coming 💪

I see you put your video out about a year ago. I wondered if over time it was more durable or scratched less, and if it stayed clear? Just wondering what your opinion of this product is now if you have one. Great video.👍

Another great and informative video. I have the Total Boat UV that you use and have problems getting it to coat. Same with the Alumilite UV. What do you use as a mid coat? (I am painting over airbrush acrylics, spray paint, etc. and using 120w spotlights with a turner) I'll brush it on and turn it for a while until it looks perfect but then it comes out with blotches of little or no coverage.... Thanks for any advice you might have!!

Is possible the the chrome lure set to long in one position or a power outage for a few mins could have caused the sagging? Jim Rodgers

Franco do you think if the Minwax is put over the epoxy then put the resin on that it would not separate. Great information thanks 4 the video!!!!

Great vid !

I bet if you sand the surface, that resin won’t pull away like that. Scotch brite wheels on a dremel, or an arbor with Emory cloth. 300 grit or so.

you have to sneak in atleast an he or two, if you dont catch who cares just take in the view, it's Beautiful up there

I enjoy all your videos. Thanks. I've been trying to use uv resin. I started with teexpert. 2 30 watt bulbs. After hours in the chamber comes out tacky. Put in direct sunlight for hours and still tacky. I added 100 watt light and switched to lets resin brand and still have the same problem. I've tried brushing, spraying and dipping all with the same result. I'm at my wits end. Any advice is greatly appreciated

Great review

Will the total boat UV resin work directly over a rust oleum oil base paint?

Hello, is the resin also good for pike bait? By the way, thanks for all your great posts :)

How are you liking this resin to date?

Anyone wanting to build a uv box Quick tip Get a Flowtron bk 80d. Bug zapper 68 bucks Amazon Comes with everything you need to get started. 2 -40 watt 365 nm bulbs Just gut them and isolate zapper circuit I used 2 of them for 160 watts curing times cut in half.

I watch your videos and have learned a lot so thank you. I'm having issues with getting my lure to swim correctly. I use the same amount of resin and microballoons, and try to pour at the same temp and humidity. pretty close to the same lead blast and same position. some swim great others not so good either nosing up or nosing down. any suggestions. thanks for any help.

What did you use for your mid coat? I have the same issue with AlumiUV against straight paint.

I know you have a video on how to thin epoxy but the chemical make up is different for this so is there a way to thin this epoxy yet?

When i apply my epoxy on my lure it's spreading not setting proper .why its happening..

Is it possible to use UV resin of a 3D resin printer? Such as Anycubic UV Clear Resin? Thank you.

I'm sure it's great but the shipping through Amazon is horrible takes about week ordered 2 bottles and it's been handed to 2 different carriers and I still haven't gotten it so m I tried to order another and the same.thing is going on so I would not buy from amazon
