You know what the real aggravating part is I let my 5 year old daughter paint some screw ups, to keep her out of my hair. She used regular acrylics from the 10 cent store and a paint brush. It is bare wood there is no primer or sealer and a ton of randomly applied paint. I had some left over epoxy from the batch that sux's and put it on for her. Well you can hit the thing with a hammer and the stuff will not chip or come off. Perfect just like you want. Figures. I think I will go to hand painting with a brush.

The fact that the epoxy achieved good adhesion on your daughter's plug is proof positive that your paint caused the problem! Good luck with th fix!!

Good point. Thanks. My 5 year old proves me wrong again. Guess I should start getting used to it. P.
