BF,

Clear Coat is an epoxy finish designed for boat/canoe builders and several of the guys here use it. It is a lot thinner than e-tex but I don’t think you can spray it without running your airbrush or spray gun. I have used it on three batches of plugs so far and I’m still playing with it trying to figure out the idiosyncrasies. The two things I do like about it that it dries rock hard and is crystal clear. I will give it a few more chances before I give up on it. I may try System Three Mirror Coat before I go back to e-tex. From what I gather, it is harder than e-tex and easier to apply that the Clear Coat.

There is a lot of info on these products here. Do a search for “System Three”, “Clear Coat”, or “Mirror Coat”.
