I've used concrete sealer on cranks. 75 % of the time it wrinkles the paint everytime

Yep.  Been using it for a few months.  Over powder paint it works like a champ.  Walmart in my area has the bet price on it.  Almost $10 a gallon cheaper than Lowe's or Home Depot.

I started out dipping and decided to just brush it on.  Works quite well either way.

After applying 3d eyes it just takes sooo much time brushing the d2t on jigheads to seal eyes in place.The epoxy does a very good  job though .  I haven't had an eye come off a jig yet!!!! Like i said it seems to take so much time mixing the 2 parts,brushing it onto each jig etc. I was wondering if this seal krete is just as good , an quicker ?

I've had mixed luck with it holding 3d eyes on stuff.  If I dip it works great.  Brushing not so much.

I superglue the eyes on.

My preference to secure eyes is with UV Resin.  Deer Creek is the best I have found however it is spendy.

I was using Seal Krete as a finish coat on lead lures.  However I quickly found out it's not the most durable finish.  I received some Solarez and have been giving it a try.  I'm brushing it on and I think I used about 1.5 ounces to cover close to 200 slabs.

It's not as glossy finish as the Seal Krete was but it's way tougher.
