I've tried a bunch of different things (via experimentation ) and hated them all... I went to clear lacquer 2 years ago... best thing i ever did...it seals the wood/ paint externaly and stops those annoying bubbles around the eyes and belly grommets ( end grain area) ( glueing the eyes and grommets helps as well) ..
I use Val spar clear laqcuer over the Delta Cerama Kote or createx, with no issues....I dont even scuff between lacquer and epoxy and havent had one peel yet....the epoxy spreads eaiser with less "holidays" than other scratch coats..and the un epoxied plug is much more durable... the plug does not scratch or mar the paint as easy as an un treated plug...
