Been using an acrylic clear "scratch coat" over paint for a few weeks -- works great and has alleviated nearly all blemishes when epoxying with E-Tex.
But...
I coated a lure with System 3 Clear Coat this morning and the epoxy turned the acrylic scratch coat to gel. Label says it's 100% solids, but I'm guessing there's solvent in there somewhere.
Sticking with E-Tex, it produces the most consistent finish for me.
Also, I have switched to applying the E-Tex with my finger (wrapped in Cling Wrap) instead of an acid brush and have been very happy with the results.
