Tagger has. It's a love/hate relationship. Hopefully Ed will chime in.

I've been using their Clear Coat product which is very fussy stuff and takes a long time to dry.

I use it on some of my stuff Paul it the best out of the three mirror then clear then sb112.Its also the hardest to work with but its tough as nails and the finish is nice.Its very temp. fussy and also have to mix it up perfectly (no porblem for a machinist).I give it 2 thumbs up but their are many that have had nightmares with it.

Used it plenty... thats SB112 ,, Best to work with in July and August...It also has a yellow hue.. looks like goat barf on a pearl white plug .. It is tough stuff ,,, bounced plugs off rocks with no damage,, also ruined a bunch of plugs using it .. Mac got some ... he hated it so much he made me buy it off him . Get a small supply if you want to try .. I might be better with it now .. better measuring and mixing habits ,, Still don't like the yellow tint though .

I've used their clear coat before. Good stuff. Like the other guys said, it can be temp fussy. Likes to be in 70-75 degrees while mixing/curing. Gotta make sure it is well mixed too. I found it best to mix it for a minute or two, get my plugs ready for clearing, mix again, pop a beer open, then a final mix before hitting the plugs. No problem coating 12 striper sized plugs and getting them on the spinner before it started to set up.

If you want to keep from driving yourself crazy with this stuff, pick a clear coat that you like and is easy to obtain. If your plug is any good, the clear will look like crap after a while anyway.
