I had horrible trouble all winter with this same problem. Couple of things to try.

Don't use syringes to measure, some have silicone in them. Weighing works best. Mix for 5 minutes with a metal or plastic stirrer (wood absorbs the thinner component too much), then pour into a separate cup before using.
Don't handle the plugs without gloves or paper towel after painting
System three Clear coat is fussy stuff and adheres better to the Createx than to Krylon.
Don't try to brush epoxy on. Instead, flow/dab/layer it on thick, then hang/flip the plug every 5-10 minutes to let the excess drip off, before flaming out the bubbles and rotating the plug while it dries.
Don't rotate the plug too fast.. My 3rpm motor does better than my 18rpm motor
Keep the room warm and not too humid.
Pray...................Alot.
Take up a different hobby.
Hope this helps.
