I'm putting on the epoxy last, after wiring. I think the epoxy kind of acts like a glue holding it all together. Extra strength can't hurt.
As for repainting, I do not ever plan on doing it. I'll just build more. As I continue to get better at building each batch seems to come out just a little better than that last..
Plus If a plug gets trashed by fish, I'm keeping it that way....
