List of products
This rubber coating / lead coating powder is an easy way to seal lead in a highly durable layer. The result is a tough, slightly flexible surface that resists chipping and helps protect lead from oxidation – whether you fish in salt water or freshwater.
Two main use-cases (and why they matter):
-
Carp leads & natural camo tones
Great when you want a subtle look and long-lasting surface protection. -
Jig heads, cheburashkas, pilkers & sea sinkers (bright + metallic)
Built for visibility, contrast and harsh conditions. In salt water, uncoated lead oxidizes fast — a proper rubberized layer keeps it looking good and usable for much longer.
Why it works so well:
– strong abrasion resistance (rocks, edges, teeth, bottom)
– oxidation protection in salt & fresh water
– fast application, easy to play with shades and effects
Recommended coating process (proven):
-
prep: clean and degrease the lead (clean surface = coating sticks)
-
heat: heat the lead to about 160–200 °C (oven usually 10–15 min, torch only a few seconds — do not melt the lead)
-
apply the powder:
-
fluid bed: best for an even finish and batch work; rubberized coating needs stable airflow (e.g. Hailea ACO 208)
-
quick dip: dip hot lead briefly and pull out immediately; shake the powder container first
-
-
tap off excess: keep the layer even
-
cure: for maximum durability, cure at about 180 °C for 10–20 min
-
cool down: let it cool in air or hang it
Practical tip: For end sinkers (sea or river), don’t skip curing — that’s where you’ll feel the biggest difference in wear resistance and oxidation protection.
