Too thick a coat with systems 3 miror coat and it becomes super brittle and prone to cracking. I totally clean everything with denatured before I even think of mixing a batch. hands, mixing cups, epoxy brush, everything.

Domination takes full concentration..

I am a cave man. I wash nothing. my shop is a mess. I use Famo wood like stated above, mixed with denatured alcohol... more or les to taste. It MUST be extremely forgiving since I have zero problems.

I dip mine in whatever finish I am putting on cabinets at the time.

epoxy is a pain although I have never had any trouble with System 3 clearcoat

I've also used Envirotex, System 3 boat builders epxoy, devcon 2 ton epoxy, U-pol auto finish, automotive clearcoat 2 part, urethane, lacquer , spray cans of clear, some secret stuff, and varnish.
all have different results

I like easy, so if I am gonna fish it, it gets dipped and hung. I'd rather spend my time fishing.

Futura works just fine. I have been trying it out on a few plugs and it holds up as well as any epoxy. Simple to re coat. Just dunk and a hang.
