I use system 3 clear coat. Thin enough so no need for thinning to seal. You want too heat the plug in the oven at 225 for about 10 to 15 minutes. Apply the epoxy inside and out. allow to soak in for 10 min and then wipe all the excess off. I mean all of it. Get it out of the eye sockets and tail weight holes and grommet holes because once that stuff sets up it is darn near impossible to get out. I use paper towels. You might have to adjust your drill sizes to accommodate the hardware after the stuff sets up. You will figure out what sizes you like after you do a few. No need to rotate, flip as there will be nothing runny once you wipe. Just hang to dry. Light sand and prime. after paint I like to install the grommets, nose and belly then finish epoxy. I wire, lip, and tail weight after final epoxy. Hope this helps. Have fun. Paul
