I agree.

In my opinion, there are far better products to use instead of dope. I may have enjoyed the "aroma" when I was a kid, but I don't intend to go back to using it.

As VJ illustrated, epoxy works well, and doesn't require a clear coat. Although I have use 2 part automotive systems, these days I prefer the simplicity of aerosol Rustoleum and a clear coat of polyurethane.

Rustoleum and polyuretnane from aerosol cans
