larry,
i'm no expert on rod wrapping or plug sealing. but the top clear coat chipping off/ peeling is because it's not bonded to the basecoat.
if you wait two days, or so to clearcoat your plugs, you should skuff them with a grey skotchbrite pad, so the topcoat will soak in to the basecoat, not just lay on top of it.
either that, or topcoat sooner.
you want it to all melt together into one single layer,
