Let me get this process straight....
1. Dip plugs in whatever sealer you use (helmsman, BLO, epoxy, etc.)
2. Allow ample dry time for sealer... I'm giving it 2 weeks for helmsman spar.
3. Sand down the plug body...
4. Mineral spirit wipe down and let dry for one hour at least.
5. Primer.
6. Paint.
7. Topcoat.
8. Assemble.
9. Give all your stuff away....in this sense its just like making wine...bust your ass for months and weeks, then give it all away....
10. Repeat. |

It shouldn't take 2 weeks for the sealer to dry. Varnish ought to dry in a matter of hours. If you sand it and it comes off as powder you are fine. Valoil is good to go in 24-48 hours.
You should sand/wipe between the primer and the color coat.
If you are using rattlecans, some guys spray a clear coat and scuff that then wipe before applying epoxy.

Don't despair yet. Ask around. Try the epoxy directly over your spray coat without roughing, maybe wipe first with alcohol. One thing I ran into was that System Three clear coat would not adhere to Krylon clear, so I don't advise trying that. On the other hand, for years I used to fish plugs coated ONLY with Krylon clear. That worked plenty well enough for me. Epoxy is not all it would seem to be. I've had and seen plenty of plugs peel epoxy long before a simpler clear coat would have worn off. |

George,
Are you saying I could omit the system three and simply spray a rattle can clear coat directly over the paint? |
