Will It Eventually Dry?
I got three plugs that I envirotexed a couple days ago and they are still slightly tacky......maybe I did not mix the envirotex quite long enough.......will they eventually dry or not?  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

No...I did two other batches of plugs at the same time (different batches of envirotex) and they dried fine! By the way afterhours, do you use envirotex on your plugs? That one you sent me looks awesome!  |

BF - I had the same thing happen to me a couple weeks ago. did 3 batches of envirotex and one batch never tacked up. i think i didn't mix long enough. i recoated the plugs and aside from a couple spots i missed, they came out alright.

i have this old junker car i put plugs and other small things in to force dry on hot days.
gets up over 150 degrees in there when the suns out.
easy way to bake 'em.
might be worth a shot?

Thats what I was thinking Mike....its easier for me to turn 3 more plugs than to strip them down and coat again. Heck, I will just wire them and fish them first!  |
