yes your right with the order of aplication, candy first then silver.
I would suggest doing a test on an old cut of bit of lexan to see if the ez off strips or not it will also allow you to gauge the amount of candy you will want to use to get the finish required.
Allways do a test first if your not sure, remember you only get 1 shot at it and getting it wrong inst an option, test first admire it later.
let me know how it goes.
