Eric you seem to have contaminated the paint. After I paint the plugs I use the heat gun to set paint then let them dry overnight in a warm area (longer if in a colder area). I spray all my plugs w/clear lacquer as a scratch coat to help w/ first protecting the paint from being ruin by handling and to make it easier to clean off with a rubbing alcohol all oils from handling. I do use clear plastic gloves to paint, seal , handle and e-tex plugs. After the lacquer dries overnight I install eyes, belly grommets and lips. E-tex then hang/flip. Been working fine. I also measure all my rod building and e-tex epoxies w/rod building syringes. Doesn't get anymore exacting than using measured syringes.
