I buy the "T"shirt rag material at homies. I wipe the plugs especialy the eyes to be sure all skin oils are remover. That's it!

Ditto on the gloves. I wipe 'em clean with a soft rag and lightly buff with a green scotch pad before epoxy.

Scotch-Brite pad. Ya know the sponges ya buy with a sponge side and an abrasive side? walmart, homies, etc. have the abrasive side only without the sponge in cleaning/housewares. buffs it ever so slightly, and it helps the epoxy to hold better. I should add that I use rattle cans, not sure if it will ruin whatever some guys are using with their air brushes. I seem to remember that some guys spray a clear over the plugs after airbrushing, buff with the pad, then epoxy, not buff the paint itself.

You have to watch what you buy when you do this. I got a bag o gloves and they had power in with them.
