Thanks Guys,

I appreciate the advice, I am going to try the spray etex for the scratch coat, no tail weight, I will be posting my results in about a week. Thanks again.

I've used the etex spray as a final coat. It works pretty well, and it would also make a nice scratch coat. If you want it clear and not cloudy, make sure it is 70 and not at all humid. Which brings me to my other point, I only use it outside and upwind because this is the worst smelling stuff I have ever used.

EricW, Thanks for that info, I would never have guessed that it would smell so bad (based on the 2 part etex). It was also great meeting you at plugfest, you have an awesome googoo collection.

There were a couple of big daddy's for sale on Ebay
they were the black & yellow swirl, one sold for $257 & the other one sold for $275, unbelievable, I think I paid about $25 for my last one (15 years ago). Thanks again.

No problem. If you can get a nice dry day, if you put 3-4 coats of that etex spray on a plug you get a real nice thin shiny finish that holds up pretty well. I've got a couple that I have used for a couple seasons and they still look good.

I also enjoyed meeting you at plugfest. You brought some great plugs to see. I did see those swirls on Ebay. They seem to go up and down. Sometimes they sell for 75-100 and sometimes way more. In any event way too much....They were really nice ones. Please post pics of your plugs. Always fun to see new stuff.
