well since i stopped making plugs and selling them in a few tackleshops around my area, i will share my secrets. I never read about this technique, and just dreampt it up one day when i read that you could thin epoxy with acetone.
I was watering down each seperate part of a 1 to 1 epoxy with acetone and would dunk my blanks in one then the other for an hour each... hardens em up real strong. I mean real real strong to teh point that red cedar was as hard as iron. I had the luxury of lots of heat and would heat up my blanks to help the epoxy seep in. I was using pelucid with great results for a clearcoat on top of oil paints...If i used a clear enamel scratch coat the pelucid would peal off like dead skin form the bottom of your foot.
I dont know if you can do this in a cold garage or basement, but in a 90 degree room and 250 degree blanks it worked schweet.
Dont use pelucid without a massive exhaust system please. You will die.
