How long did you wait until you epoxy coated... if the paint is not cured ( I give them a minimum of 48 hours) sometimes the paint continues to "gas #^&#^&#^&#^& as it cures causing adhesion problems... I ran into this when I first started using epoxy...also... don't sand the plug super smooth... I've found that by leaving them a little "rough... no smoother than 220) paint and epoxy stick much better and because the epoxy fills the rougher voids, the finish is still like glass..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
