Thanks..
Ive had this problem in the past with plugs sticking, but never this bad.
I could'nt find any PVA locally here in the stores and I cant order it online (trying to keep this off the wifes radar
). Would a primer with something other than a laquer base be more stable? Ive tried to locate PVA at stores like Michaels in their sculpting section, but didn't see any there and the auto body shops here locally don't have it either. does it go by any other name or is there a recipe to make some at home?

Any paint can be problematic. Sometimes not letting them cure long enough can exacerbate the problem. Usually the safest paints are catalyzed urethane automotive paints. They will require spray equipment and $$$$. I prep all my plugs with PPG Deltron DC3000. It works well with wax/PVA and semi-permanent systems like Frekote and dries in 2 hours. It's really nice stuff.
I don't think you can make PVA at home. Any attempts to will surely arouse your wife's suspicion.
I have heard of people using hair spray in place of PVA. I've personally never tried it, but some testing could definitely be done.
Here is an article about using hair spray
PVA is pretty cheap stuff.
SEE HERE for Partall Film #10 (PVA)
PVA will bead-up like mad on Meguiars release waxes making it difficult to apply. If I'm going to use wax & PVA, I like to use Part-all Paste #2 (wax) and Part-all Film #10 (PVA). These two products play very nice together.
