I friggin hate epoxy

Sorry, gotta vent...

Envirotek light,
sys 3mirror coat,
sys 3 clear coat.

Anyone got any other suggestions that aint gonna kill me that I can put on in the basement?

I used etek and mirror coat last winter with pretty good success. But any plugs that had thicker coats of etek are now yellowed, and I could not get more than 6 done before it started setting up and going on too thick. Mirror coat went on nice but I had some durability issues with the mirror coat, but maybe that is something I could work the kinks out of in my finishing process if I went that route again. I also noticed some of my mirror coat plugs have cracks in the epoxy, and I don't think they were cracked when i put my gear away in the fall?

Clear coat just has me dumbfounded. I got it last week and I've tried it 3 times. I can't get a good finish with it. It doesn't flow well and its tough to remove the brush strokes. I've tried heating it, heating the plugs, all kinds of things.. I get it on good, flip em a few times and 1/2 an hour later it looks like it pulls back in little spots. And this is over a scuffed clearcoat and the plugs are clean.
