Pete I was one of those guys that never had problems with my finish. They went on clean and clear and looked like glass. Well that was until last summer when I started to get an orange peel look. No more clean finishes. I went through everything, Bought new epoxy, checked my materials, started wearing gloves and checking humidity. It was weird I would change something up and get good results but then if I did a run of plugs I would get this uneven orange peel look near the tail. The weird part was that the plugs were coated with enough clear in the lower portion of the epoxy finish to handle beating but weren't up to the standard look I wanted.
I did everything and then said f it. Closed the shed for a month and goofed around.
When I went back in to do some work I went through my process and realized I was using newer brushes. They were the same material but were wider and spread the finish more evenly. I went back to my older thinner brushes and saw that they glopped the finish on thicker than the newer big brushes. Plug finishes have all come out very well.
So now I have two thoughts humidity played a part or the fact that by using a bigger brush gave me driver error.
