epoxy

It sound like to me the mix may have been off. I don't mean wrong proportions but the mix may have been incomplete. I use alot of epoxy and have learned that the best way to insure a good mix is to add the components to one cup stir as well as you can then transfer that mix to another cup and keep stirring that mix. It is usual that the next morning I will find an incomplete mix in the first cup while the second cup is as it should be.
Most of us that do boats mix this way. Epoxy, particularly the more expensive brands have more critical mix ratio and mixing procedures because they are used in structural situations. I have found products like e-tex much more forgiving.
I would wash this plug with denatured alchol or MEKS (not in the house)
and recoat.
