I gave up using the scratch coat years ago. Just another step and really saw no advantage of it. I epoxy in the eyes after paint and before epoxy, bare handed. I wouldn't do it after eating a burger or something, but as long as your hands are clean you are fine.

The only time I use a scratch coat is over metalic paint. Silver for example. My waterslide transfer logo does not adhere to it. I give the tail of teh plug a quick spray. Let dry and apply logo. Apply epoxy.
