Is the helmsmans what you use for a clear, the coat you scuff? Then you put the epoxy on right? You also wait 2 weeks before you do the epoxy. What is the difference between the helmsmans's spar urethane and say crystal clear enamal ? Paul

I was doin The Capesams all oil base thing.better paints.the spar stuff will amber so if i wnted white i would use crytsal clear krylon or a rustoleum clear.the results seemed similar

I had better luck with the Rustoleum painters touch clear... My epoxy went coo coo on the krylon unless i didn't let it vent long enough... Helmans spar varnish is too damm yellow,,,looks like $#%t on a pearl white plug ..

Yea the spar it makes a nice white plug yellow.I have em sittin around a while on some plugs i never epoxied for one reason or another an its just about as strong as epoxy.If it didn't amber I would be usin it for the final coat.

tagger..

krylon is laquer//rust-o is enamel...the two fight each other.

Thanks cs ... i put krylon clear over createx and systems 3 over that.. maybe i goofed up maybe not but the epoxy was jumping off the plug.. looked like a lava flow ..I have to learn rattle can eticut, i'm weak there.. maybe this winter..
