Epoxy prep

i've been having a tough time envirotexing some of the plugs i've made, i sometimes get a couple small spots on the plug where the just dosn't want to grab onto. i can go over the spot several times, but the epoxy seems to just run away from it.

i think the problem is with my prep.

#1 after my plugs are painted, i put on a very light coat of crystal clear from rust-o-lium.

#2 a day or two later i gently wipe them using denatured alcohol

#3 then wipe with a tack rag before the epoxy goes on.

i'm not sure if i'm doing #2 and #3 in the wrong order....problem is, after i wipe with alcohol the plug has lint from using rags or dust (when using rags-in-a-box) so i use the tack rag.....but doesn't the tack rag contaminate the surface with whatever makes it tacky?
