2nd coat of epoxy?
Did not get complete coverage on a few plugs, missed a few spots, and I want to apply another coat. How long do you wait till you reapply another coat? I used mirror coat and I put the first coat on yesterday, Wed., at 3 pm. It says if you wait 72 hours than you need to scuff it so I want to know what is the soonest you can wait because I need to be dry by Sat. morning. Thanks Paul

Take my advice with caution, but I think if you warm it will cure much faster. I think I read somewhere, probably the system three faq site, that you can halve the curing time for each 16 degrees you raise the temp. I've recoated their Clear Coat product after 48 hours without incident. I'd try a heat lamp and spinner overnight, then recoat tomorrow, and hope for the best.

Paul, not that I am an expert but..... I would do what I do and use a light coat of 2ton/two hour epoxy by devcon. Do it tonight before you go beddy bye and voila hard as rocks by dawn. Just did it this week twice as a matter of fact.

Why even try.........

Haven't tried that stuff but in my epoxy world apply the next coat after the 1st is tack free and b4 the 72 hrs.
Now to further confuse the issue I have put the second coat on while the 1st is tacky but not sagging with no adverse effect. You just dont want the tacky so tacky that it pulls brush hairs.  |

Brush hairs are the nemesis of plug builders! I always seem to miss them and see them clearly after the plug has dried. I hate those things! |

When I've had to recoat, I've sanded with a maroon scuff pad, wiped with isopropyl alcohol (previously acetone but this strips the bare spots) and then applied the epoxy with my finger (in a powder free glove). I seem to get a smoother, thinner result with less bubbles. Just don't try and touch it up latter once the epoxy starts to grab. I'm using the system three clear coat, however, which is a very thin product to start.

You just missed a few spots right .. They are not tacky ? are they .? I know this is very stressful .. Are you being to picky ? I know how you machinist are with perfection.. I have had problems putting a better mix (hotter coat) over a sticky coat and got a shriveled effect,, sux..

Paul, If you are only talking a couple of small spots don't sweat it. Leave them be. If the area is like 3/8" then recoat.

Thanks guys for the fast response. Screw it they are good enough, I can't believe I said that. They came out great except for a few spots and instead of ruining it I will let it be. P.
