avoid the problem in the first place. clean hands. no chicken wings. no wd40 or such lingering in the air and you'll be all set.
i would avoid steel wool arround anything you plan to get wet. boat,car etc. it will be a place for rust to start. bronze wool or scuff pads might be better. just my thoughts

I've tried this with mixed results. Its just that when wireing a plug they get manhandled and even if you wear gloves, you are still touching a lot of potential contaminents. I'm thinking of trying an experiment with household cleaners that wont remove the createx. |

Scott and Paul, thanks for the heads up on the UV stuff, saved me some trouble and brain cells (which are getting precious these days).

I scrub my hands with cheap dishwashing liquid and dry well. If I so much as touch my nose, I scrub again. I use no aerosols in the house before or after clearing with E-tex lite. As Fishingfreak said keep it clean to start with. I use a cheapo acrylic from ACMoore called "Traditions" and I don't scuff after paint. The 2 plugs that peeled on me (that I know of) peeled because of the E-tex ratio was off. I did have a "fisheye" problem with a coupla batches. That was before scrubbing with dish soap.
