RE: What went wrong?
Ok.. Sorry its been so long since I last posted, but Ive made a new plug (which is actually better than the first one) and its taken me a while. I constructed the base from styrofoam, covered with 2 oz cloth with West epoxy.. Ive sanded, Ive sanded, filled all the holes and Im pretty happy with it. Its now in primer (Duplicolor filler / primer). My question is this: Can I just clear coat the primer like I did last time. which didnt turn out so well, or should I paint it and clear? I do plan to use PVA this time along with the wax.. Im just a bit nervous since Ive put much time into this that I dont want another stuck plug. I did read the article on the West Systems web site about the hair spray, but was feeling a bit uneasy about trying something so different and not having it work. I does seem like a good alternative tho, and its available where as I will have to order a gallon of PVA and never use half of it in the rest my life!
I do have some automotive 2 part clear that I am thinking of using. I also think that the rattle can stuff was a part of the original problem as well.
