Envirotex lite redo

I covered a batch of plugs with envirotex and I didn't get the mixture perfect or I didn't mix it well enough , whatever , but the plugs are still a tad tacky.
I plan on recoating them again . How should I prep the plugs before reapplying ?
Also , what is the best way to measure the mixtures from the 16oz bottles?
Help ?

If it's still tackey just recoat.If it drys scuff it with a fine Scoth brite pad and recoat. Alot of guys use the graduated plastic medicine cups, or try the tops of pepsi bottles and then throw away. Mix for at least 4 mins.

not if they' re still tacky. I never wipe a plug at all with chemicals. After scuffing up the scratch coat I clean the plug off with compressed air. The main thing to remember is clean your hands. The oils from your skin can reek
havoc on your finish.

he's right about the oil from your hands, I always tack them off with Wilbond(thanks C.S.)
I use medicine syringes to measure small amounts of E-tex and it works well.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
