Holy crap my head is spinning. I think I got the zombie woof behind my eyes, never mind. Well after reading all the informative opinions I have concluded that there are a myraid of ways to screwed up. The thing that gets me is it seems some of the plugs came out alright and some did not. I sealed Val and terp. let dry several days. I primed the plugs, Zinsser cover stain, let dry and then another coat. Maybe need to light sand in between coats. Grey scotchbrite pad before painting. I used mostly satin Rustoleum american accents paint. I try to stay away from gloss although the purple in the crap plug was a gloss. I do several colors one after another after each color drys say 10 min. inbetween colors till I get the look I want. I let that finished plug dry 24 hours maybe 2 days, all depends when I can get to it. Crystal clear enamal after that. Then wait a day or more and then the Mirror coat. I am sure I measured correctly and mixed for at least 5 min. as I have heard constantly to do. All this scuffing which I am probably not doing enough of I guess.
Should I be scuffing inbetween primer coats?
Should I be scuffing the primer before paint?
Should I be scuffing the paint before clear?
Should I be scuffing the clear before epoxy?
You are not saying let a day go by before you add each additional color to get the finished combo are you. I should be able to add all the colors within a few mins. of each other, after each color drys, to get final results right?
Maybe the temp that the plugs were in as the epoxy dried, 62, was too cold. I know that there are many different opinions to the process. Some do certain things and some don't. I guess I have to look at all the info and try to make and informed decision.
It would be great if everyone used the same process but then that would be too easy. Thanks all for the help. Paul
