Clear penetrating epoxy sealer, Best thind I've tried. Tagger came over to see for himself this afternoon. I wonder if he is still buzzed, its stong stuff. Its made by Smith&Co, and is a viscous epoxy that penetrates and hardens wood. I put on three coats, and can fish a plug all night without taking on water. I can also paint 24 hours after the last application. Its expensive, but I put two coats on 15 plugs today and only used an ounce and a half. PS, Thanks for coming over Tagger, one of those needles I sealed with you has your name one it, and thanks for the goodies!

Charlie ,,, Thanks for the chem buzz and the lesson .. I'm saving my sock money for a batch . Besides sealing well I like the fact it makes the wood harder underneath paint .

What is the pot life on the CPES?
Are there different hardeners for different times like West Systems?

I have great success w/Pettit Old Salem Clear wood sealer. Dunk the plugs for a minute, swab out all the holes, esp. the thru-wire and hang dry overnight. Never ever had any water-intrusion or topcoat issues.Even on my most rock-beaten, bluefish battered old plugs.
About $20.00/qt.

They make 2 formulas, warm and cold. Warm is for 86deg down to 50deg with a pot life from 4hrs at 86deg to 16hrs at 50deg.The cold formula is for below 50deg with a pot lfe of 8 hrs.
Priming is optional. |

WHOaaa Dog !!! you been holding out on me .. I'm getting the warm weather formula .. Cold weather has so many solvents you'll OD on chem buzz . Must be done out side .. I can get away with warm weather formula inside because paint booth is venting fumes and heating dollars out the window . |
