Just sharing some more experience: I mixed the CS 50/50 with Naphtha, and the paint solids settled to the bottom within hours in a very hard mass. It took a lot of effort to break that up and get it back into suspension for dipping.

The gill slits I use on some of my lures proved to be an issue; the angles are very sharp so the solution either beaded up on the gill plate or left long streaks from the gill opening. In the end, I did have to use some spray-primer over the gills.

So what I gained with the dipping method is primer coverage in the drilled areas for additional water absorption protection, but I do need to continue to spray at least one coat for any lures with gills.

I did want to mention that the surface of the lure after dipping was beautiful; even around the eyes (only exception was gills).
