Do you love big bluegill?

Does anyone use Liquid Fusion as a poppers finish? If not, what do you recommend? I thought I posted this topic, but I can't find it.

Thanks,

Bruce

Bruce is liquid fusion an epoxy or a finish. I would think once it dries it would be rock hard therefore I would think to be OK. I'm using a vinyl paint from Jann Netcraft and it works fine. Hope to find my airbrush so I can airbrush again.

Hi All. Liquid Fusion, according to the bottle, is a clear urethane glue. It's non-foaming, non-toxic, 100% water proof, and fast drying. You can use it indoors or outdoors on porous, non-oily surfaces such as wood, metal, stone, ceramic, plastic, glass, fabric and more. That's the claims on the bottle itself. I just wonder how durable it is. I guess there's only one way to find out.

I think what you have if your not happy or feel your paint is less than favorable as far as making the popper waterproof you could add a coat of Liquid Fusion. I feel it is an extra step if you have painted poppers I would think the paints would do quit well by themselves in making your popper waterproof.

Bruce, I use Arleen's fabric fusion as a finish coating on my hopper and frog  pattern that's posted here.  It's waterproof and works well on my foam poppers too.  I use it mainly to seal in the colors and give it a glossy look.  May not be what you want if you looking for a very hard coating.

Bruce let us know how it works!!! I use hard as nails clear fingernail polish!!!!!!!

I used Liquid Fusion and it is a flexible finish. How durable it is, I don't know, because I haven't fished any of them yet. I'll post a report when I do.

I just wanted to report that used a mixture a Toulene and Goop to attach the doll eyes to the foam poppers I made. I covered the entire popper with Liquid Fusion and I had a chance to fish them last week. I missed just 3 bass bass and one even ripped off the rubber legs, but the eyes held firmly. Thanks for all of your help.

Thanks for reporting your results Bruce sound very promising.
