Behr waterproofing?

I want to seal some salty's lure kits and i picked up a gallon of this stuff, is it goin to be ok? I'm going to prime and paint using auto-air paints(pearl, candy, Iridescent) any other tips would be appreciated.

Thanks, I think im going to try the Boiled Linseed Oil/ min spirits and i will be carful with the rags. So the mix ratio is 60/40 BLO/MinSp and i would dip the lures for how long again?

I used the Behr stuff for some stubby needles. I used it b/c it was on hand and needed to be used up anyway. So far I havent had any paint problems. I made them out of and old broom stick, so if the start to come apart its no big deal. I wouldnt go and buy it specificly for custom plugs though. There are better options.

I think if you read the fine print it says to wait 6-12 months before painting top coat...too much silicone....Jim

What wood did you use. Most cedars only require a soak of a couple minutes.
Depending on humidity you should be OK in 72 hours. However, check closely because of the extra long soak.
