I've been using the Devcon 2 ton also. Really like the stuff. Just make sure you mix it really good or you'll have sticky areas (ask me how I know). I have not been cleaning my brushes w2ith any solvent prior to use, Im concerned it will mess up the clear coat. I just work the brush a little and pull out any loose hairs. If a hair finds its way into the epoxy I just pull it out with a pin or teezers and add a little more epoxy to that area. Works for me. I tried using some pearlex pigment to ass some color to certain areas but didnt care for the muddy looking result. I DO however really like Diamond Dust. Its nice for adding a little flash to the whole plug or certain areas. If Im not doing the whole plug I will mix the epoxy plain and coat the entire plug, then add some diamond dust to what epoxy is left and brush it on the areas I want a little sparkle. Diamond Dust comes in about 12 colors, Ive been using the pearl color.
