I have been using the Bins red can spray.
Yes, I put primer over the Bins but I am told it's over kill.
I use Krylon spray cans.
I let the base coat dry 1-2 days, sand and do the primer/paint.
I let the primer\paint dry 2-3 days before putting the epoxy on.
The last couple plugs I made, I used zinsser 1-2-3 as a sealer coat.
The 1-2-3 is a water based sealer. (sealer may be the wrong word)
I was in a rush to get these plugs done and my wife had a gallon of this stuff she didn't need.
I dipped the plug.....messy.
I have fished these plugs only 3 times but so far so good.
Note! I don't recommend not sealing your plugs properly.
The other thing you mentioned was the overnight soak of your plugs
added 1/2 oz the the weight. Keep in mind, Popler will absorb at lot
of moisture. The problem here is that the inside of the plug will not dry as soon as your would expect. the outside can feel dry but the inside can still be moist. I think I remember someone responding to me that said it could take 3 weeks for the plug to dry if you let it soak
overnight with poplar. If that is true, then there is moisture already in the plug and it will swell and crack the finish.
Again, I don't build my plugs to last 10 years.
Also, there are people using Poplar with good results.
Poplar just didn't work for me.
Hope this helps. It can be frustrating resolving problems.
The people on this site have been great in sharing knowledge and I thank them all.
