Man, you're like a runaway train. Tell me, do you come home from work and throw your coat on a chair and race down the cellar stairs like a mad scientist? lol Very nice work. Are those markings done with permanent marker? I found something out when I was doing the plugs for the swap. I signed my name on the bottom before I envirotexed the plug. After a few minutes the signature began to move around and flow with the envirotex. It didn't ruin it but distorted it quite a bit. It looked pretty cool almost gothic style printing and something I could never get to come out like that again. I guess the point I'm making is envirotex may make your markings run together or melt a little bit. Maybe you should try a little paint and markings on a test dowel and envirotex it to see if it runs before you do that plug and possibly get undesirable results. If it does run the markings a simple way to cure this is to spray one coat of clear lacquer or enamel over the plug to seal the markings underneath. Then proceed with the envirotex. Make sure you stay with the same type paint you painted the plug with. If you used lacquer color use lacquer clear, etc. good luck, don't hesitate to ask questions. ...mrpogie
