Glisten PC Lure Clear Coat














Fishing Lure Clear Coating




GLISTEN PC is a High Gloss, Rock Hard, Water-clear topcoat designed for spray or brush application over all surfaces, including painted wood. GLISTEN PC will not leave brushmarks, and will dry in less than one hour, but will take 3-4 days to reach maximum hardness.


When GLISTEN PC is first dry to the touch, it will appear to be very soft. Avoid touching it for several days until it becomes hard and tough. Accidental contact could damage the surface before full cure has taken place. Like many other coatings, GLISTEN PC is a MOISTURE-CURED coating, which means it is strengthened by exposure to moisture. It will never crack, chip, peel, or yellow, and is very flexible as well. This clear coat is tolerant to plastic worms/grubs.

If you are a lure maker in the need of a better clear coat for your lures; give this one a try. Two applications with an airbrush gives a beautiful, rock hard finish on your lures.
