The clear was very thick which I was told was suppose to be like water[I like thin] anyways, It went on like it had hopes of being a good maybe..then when I checked it this morning after spinning all nite..it looked like melted clear gum balls all over the plug..scratch one swimmer/needle and clearcoat.

then I tried the sealer on a bare plug...dipped it..let it hang to dry..that came out good...but then I dipped a needle in the jug and pulled it out...first coat was fine..let dry.....second dip ate the first coat..$&^%*&... crap....should have known when I first opened the box and saw the cheap printed out label on the jugs that this stuff was headed to be labled gutter juice cause that's where it belongs..kicked to the gutter.

Had to try it..back to sys3..

BOAT fish do count.

That suxs.oke: I have learned a lesson I hope. I'll save mine for the next toxic waste day at the town dump. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Just goes to show how desperate we are to find an easier, better way to do the finish coat. P.

I'll admit I was wathching this thread and hoping! A one part epoxy that you can use as a sealer and finish coat...doesn't get much better than that! Guess that's why they say...If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.

I would always be a little leary of one part finishes for plug clear coats. I have tried many things and found not a lot of durability with one part finishes. The 2 part paints and epoxies hold up much better since they have a catalyst to aid in the curing process.
If you don't mind if the finish wears off or doesn't protect the wood all that much, you could use a varnish or even a laquer if you wanted a simple one part clear.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
