Thats the same stuff i use.They have changed the formula to lower VOC's an It's not as nice..
I when I used cans i found the best way to do it was like the freak said.wet to wet.all at once.I would prime an wait 24 hrs an saND then some more prime an sand kept it up till i got where i wanted give it a few days to dry an then paint.U have ta do light coats wait a few minutes an do another light coat.Keep goin every few minutes till ya get what ya want.then in the same procedure i would add a scuff coat.I like the helsmans spar urethane but it will amber.OK on dark stuff but if i wanted a white i would use crystal clear by krylon.then u gotta wait.Sometimes a week is not enough time.I would give it the smell test if i could no longer smell the paint then it was ready.then I would wait somemore.then scuff I have used sand paper an scotch brite. u gotta be real gentle with both even 800-1000 paper will scrape to far on some corners an such.then blow it off with the thing from the compressor..Not a fan of the alchol thing gave it up yrs. ago.maybe wipe it with a damp paper towel an blow it off then no fingers on it.Oils from ur hands will repel the epoxy.I only scuff it right before i epoxy.then I am real carefull wit em.U would be surprised of the ways to contaminate the plug so's the epoxy won't behave.Then it I mix the %$%$%$%$ wrong an the epoxy comes out like poop anyways.welcome to plug buildin.looks like it didn't dry enough.
