first pikies with System Three

Here are a few I did with System Three clear coat . The finish is harder than envirotex and also harder to work with. (it is thinner and drags off with the brush).

Do you have to spin the system 3?

I just flip them like I did with the envirotex. It is harder to get a good coating though because it is alot thinner so it drags off easier. I think the pot life is better though.

I have not used the envirotex, but do use the Systems Three clear coat. Pot life is pretty good. I can get 12 plugs coated easily in one sitting. I spin mine after coating. Helps with the self leveling. The times that I have had problems with it are when I try to use it in warmer weather (starts to set up before I am done) or if I have not mixed it well enough. Any more, I'll mix a batch, get plugs lined up, mix again, add glitter, mix again, then start applying it. Mix between plugs too.

I like the stuff except for the way it drags and tends to leave bare spots. I am going to try the mirror coat on the next run of plugs. It is a self leveling bartop epoxy. Hopefully it is similiar to envirotex as far as application goes.

whats setting time compared to the envirotex? like how long till touchable?

It sets in about 4 or 5 hrs. has a pot lifew of 2 hrs and takes a day before ya should touch it. Next week I'll let ya know how the mirror coat works out. I am hoping it has the hardness of clear coat and the ease of application of envirotex.
