CAN I CORRECT THIS !

I wanted to finnish the rest of my slammers, an the bottle I CARVED out.BUT, I sealed them w/ VAL-OIL , set them out to DRY. PRIMED them 2 days later,an let that dry for day, an put some BLACK on them an let that dry for day,BUT today I checked to see if they were dry to put another coat on, an they were DRY.BUT not in a GLOSS FINNISH. I did a few outhers in different colors an they came out good. w/ gloss finnish. could the plugs STILL be WET ! an not dryed threw.

should I sand them down an let dry for a week an then give it a shot?
the paint is the same I used on outher BLACK ones I did.

COMMENTS WELCOMED
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

wow

thats weird...scuff them and try again, epoxy will give them a gloss look, maybe the paint wasn't mixed good or is going bad, for some odd reason, can the gloss part settle to the bottom

its no ones fault

If you used rattle cans shake for a minute before painting and shake every once in awhile while painting. Could it be that you didnt shake the can enough?

Domination takes full concentration..
