Hi Bert,

As you know , I use \"Coovar\" lumi and dayglow . They have their own undercoat but any standard emulsion will do for this , it just adds a bit density under the final coat . I have tried laquer on the finnished coat but it\'s not required m8 .The finnish is better without it with my favourite being flouro orange or if the water is murky lumi .

If it\'s water based will it not wash off in the water???? Assuming the pirk lasts long enough to hit the bottom lol

Cheers dave was wondering if needed special kind of undercoat for my secret weapons for location \"XX\"..................lol

Never does for me Keith , as you say they don\'t last long enough anway lol . I was thinking of trying a one coat (solo perhaps ? ) for better density but I\'ve had nee bother like so far .
