Adhesion Problem
Having a bad time with the Binz sticking to the linseed.
I've searched the forum quite a bit and found some great information but could not find the answer to the problem.
I'm currently using Poplar, I know Junk Wood.
Plugs are wire thru.
I dip the plug in the 60/40 linseed/spirits. I have tried 1 min up to 1/2 hour for the dunk. I let it drip and wipe off excess.
So far so good.
I let the plugs dry for 5-7 days.
Sand the plug.
then Spray on the Bins ( Red Label )
Let Dry for 2-3 days.
Sand
I then put on Krylon Primer to get a smoother finish.
Then wet spray white Krylon for the base.
Then add what ever colors (wet)
Finally I put on Krylon clear.
Let this dry 2-3 days
Sand
Put on Devcon Epoxy.
Everything should be fine, and it is until I add the factor of water.
I have an obsession the actually use the plugs.
The amount of time to the problem varies from 1 hour to 2 weeks on some plugs.
The first sign of a problem is a crack in the paint, usually on the bottom and near the center gromett.
This gets bigger until water gets in and separates the Bins from the linseed. In all cases the Bins pulls off.
It is so bad that you ca actually peal the bins/paint off with your fingers.
I have included a picture of a Polaris type which shows the cracking and the subsequant bubbling of the paint.
The second photo is a few plugs that are waiting to be destroyed.
Any suggestions/recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks
