I use Devcon / Bob Smith epoxy , 30 min cure. They give you around 5 min work time to coat your bait.
Reason I use them , I dont paint more than 4 baits at a time. I dont mind taking the time to brush the epoxy on.
I'd do a transparent Gill pattern on the first blank , just Paint the outside of the blank , that way you can skip the inner body where the hinges are located , getting clear coating around the hinges can be a royal pain.
My 2 Cents.
