Wet on Dryer
 

Just got done w/epoxy.This is new to me,that is water base paint and epoxy.Used to do automotive base coatw/clear coat.I'm going to try base w/ epoxy next.Beside the fumes of base paint i'm leaning toward using it.Have a friend that runs a truck body shop.He gives me all kinds of different paint colors so that makes it cheap.I also like how quick it dries and how it sands.I'll have to spend more
time getting used to water base paints.

Looking good yeah I see the etex can be a bit of a PITA if the conditions are not optimal and mixed exactly correctly. I warm the bottles in warm water for a few minutes before mixing and use pre marked measuring cups to measure it.Water based paints need to be heat treated or the paint may lift some use a blow dryer to do so I just hang them by a heat source overnight so far so good.

Hit the water based paint with a hair dryer to 'set' it as soon as you finish shooting each color. Then let the plug dry in a warm dry place a day or two before clear coating.

A good idea is to apply and then spin the Etex covered plug at 90 degrees F. Guys build boxes to house their spinners with lightbulbs and even thermostats to keep the temp and humidity optimal for the Etex to level out and cure.

Woody,The plugs are in a rotary dryer.I have a heat lamp for now that i lifted to take the picture.I'll be building a box soon.Thanks for the reply.

I posted these in another thread a while back. This is the box I built for spinning/drying plugs. It has Three clamp on lights on top, all with 100 watt bulbs that I can switch on and off individually depending on the temp I want. Plexiglass inserts in the doors for my viewing pleasure. A rotissary motor from a barbeque grill,(it turns at around 4-5 rpm.) I overkilled the size of this by a mile, it holds 36 plugs....which I'll never fill.
