Maybe just a layer of head cement or some kind of paintable poly urethane.

"I tried Hard as Nails but it actually ate through the paint. " If you can hit it quick with a thick coat (not a lot of brush strokes) or maybe pour out a little puddle and roll them on a toothpick or something or send them back they're defective!  |

I'd try Clear Cure Goo Flex. That stuff is awesome a would provide some dampening on impact.

yeah it's definitely an issue. if anyone has a suggestion of a different brand of beads that hold up better i'd love to hear it.
the goo is a good idea. maybe the new hydro stuff would be best? Bill I from the board here has used flex cement in the past and it worked pretty well.
the real alternative is using good old chenille or dubbing. takes a bit more time especially if you have to wrap lead to get some weight. makes them real durable though.

Try the light cured resin, should be resilient enough.

Coat them with a flex cement and they will hold up Much longer.
One coat does it…….

To confirm on the ccg hydro, I've seen a few other places that is what people use it for exclusively other than being an all around great head cement alternative. It also makes a great looking transition from the bead to the fly
