On hardwoodsMaple, birch, I soak 60% helmsman/40% (PURE) turpentine 4 hrs. So far so good. Leave a grit(like Woody) 100-120 for adhesion. Prime with "oil" base Zinseer. Sand w/ 180, clean off w/ denatured alcohol. Paint w/Createx, Apple, etc. Heat set w/ heat gun. Dry over night dry. Spray clear "laquer" over painted plug, protects while handling putting on lips, grommets, eyes & wiring if you shall wish. Dry over night and apply epoxy (Flexcoat lure epoxy) or E-tex. No complaints. Some times in this art of plug building it's what one is comfortable using and has success with. This what make this a great hobby. Sometimes ones' method of success is another's achilles heel. Good Luck in whichever works.
