Question

Can we have a very late due-date, say 1st of May? I'm in, but I'm slow.

I just finished epoxy sealing and priming. Now for the big decision. How are they gonna be dressed??

I was thinking maybe white sparkle with a little pink on the sides??
or maybe black over gold scale?? or maybe my favorite trick color shifting chameleon with a gold eel belly???? I dunno

I'll think of something...

Digger,

Do you mean the "heat the wood and dip in epoxy sealing method"? What kind of epoxy are you using? I always thought of trying it but just assumed it was too messy.

Those look Most Pissah......

Just finished painting mine Tuesday night. Now to start the Epoxy-ing.

Glad I made extra's...screwed up the paint on one.....its now Blurple

Learned the Extras lesson last year...when I would screw one up and have to spin up another everytime.

Patrick,

Thanks for the help. I will give it a try in the spring once the plug shop thaws out. Will also definately give the West Systems a try. I've had an eye on it but didn't want to spend the $$$ without some input on it first. Have you guys tried this method on maple and other hardwoods yet or just on cedars?

Patrick the reason I said G2 is I got a couple recently and was only using it as a reference to the shape
Jerry K. told me about that style of sealing a year or 2 ago and Matt told me about it last fall but I never tried it as I had too much of what I was using at the time, very interesting. I am curious how many plugs can you seal with each batch you mix? Are you using the West Sys. for your final finish epoxy coat too? The plugs I have from you and Matt are very hard I noticed. Basicly you are putting 2 coats of epoxy on them, 1 under the paint and 1 over. Do you prime after the 1st coat and before the airbrush or just put paint on over the seal coat? Thanks for the info. P.
