I finished a handful of plugs this weekend and clear coated them with "Famowood Glaze Coat". The stuff seems to be super solid. I tried hitting it with a hammer and was hard pressed to crack it. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience/ recommendations about using it?

I have used Famowood. I think it's properties are very similar to those of Envirotex Lite in that they are both clear bar top finishes.
I have not experienced any difficulties using it that are unique to Famowood. Like with all other 2 part finishes, thorough mixing is essential. I also use a rod builders alcohol torch to remove the bubbles after applying the finish
