BIG problem, any ideas?

Hey guys,

I have a big problem, I sealed about 20 baits for the first time using the PVC pipe method and I went to put a coat of E-tex on them and it fish eyed all over crazy weird. I seal my baits with a 60/40 mix of sanding sealer/lacquer thinner. I have always just thrown the baits in the paint can. this time I build some PVC tubes to make the job a little easier. After the baits are sealed I always let them dry completely and then sand them and wipe them down with some denatured alcohol before hitting them with a thin coat of E-tex to give me a glassy smooth surface to prime and paint.
I'm thinking there may have been some residual oils in the PVC pipe that soaked into the wood? Any ideas?
I know it wasn't the etex because I grabbed a biat I still had laying around from the can sealing and the same batch of E-tex went on perfectly.
I would love to get some comments on how to proceed. My thoughts would be to prime the baits first and hopefully that covers whats causing the problem and then proceed with the E-tex again?

Thanks in advance,

MS

It might be a reaction with the pvc and lacquer thinner. Try pouring some fresh lacquer thinner into a new piece of pvc and see if anything happens.
