Great information, thanks for everyone's perspective.
I finally slowed down in the process and started waiting at least as long as the Rust-Oleum primer and lacquer cans said to wait for re-coating and fully-dry states; that included paying attention to temperature and humidity and waiting longer if it was lower and higher (respectively).
I used the Folk Art spray acrylic over my last plug, and waited about 30 hours before epoxying with E-tex. This one came out flawless (well, until I dropped it...Sorry Ron, one more try...)
The Hydro Mist & Polymar paints I've been using in addition to Createx are taxidermy paints. The marketing says that when they are dry, they are truly waterproof. This has turned out to be true, as I haven't been able to wash them off if I botch a paint job and have to start from a white base again.
