What do you mean Mike?

I don't have a water problem....pretty sure the problem I was having was the tack cloth I was using was leaving residue on the ends of the plug and around the eyes (the areas where the tack cloth would catch and rub the most) The current batch of plugs I did not use a tack cloth before painting and so far so good but I will know if I solved my problem when I e-tex, probably Tuesday!
What happened there?
