Envirotex or spray epoxy?
I have noticed that some of the plugs I see have an obvious coat of epoxy on them. Others have a very thin coat. I'm assuming the thin coat is sprayed on from what I have been reading on the board. What do you guys prefure for finnish? I have been using envirotex light. I like it but it is difficult to get it to finnish evenly and it takes so long to cure. Will the spray be any better? Thanks, PB
What sprays do you use?

I don't know anyone that has sprayed on epoxy.
The envirotex works well with a spinner for me.
Thin coats for me come from system three clear coat epoxy, it is pretty thin so I put on 2 coats but I just flip those end for end, no spinner.

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.

I'm just a beginner at this but so far I've found Envirotex Lite goes on really well and comes out great. You have to spin it though. I use the drying motor on my rod wrapper to do it.

Is the Epoxy Finish for plugs like Rod building epoxy. You know, where you have to mix a 50/50 Resin & hardener?

Rod Building epoxy takes at least 6 hours so it's about the same

The trouble with e-texing plugs is that while a person normaly makes one rod at a time and only need one spinner , making plugs required more spinners unless you only spin 1 plug a day . I now have 7 .  |
